Personal
Care Program
Independent Living Resources' Personal
Care Program serves individuals of all ages
and all disabilities. Our goal is to allow
the individual, our consumer, to have a choice
in how his or her services are provided. At
Independent Living Resources, we believe:
- Persons
needing assistance in their homes should
have the freedom and opportunity to control
their own lives, manage their own affairs
and live as they choose in the community.
-
Persons utilizing our services should take
an active role in the planning, implementation
and evaluation of our services.
-
Every consumer should be satisfied and comfortable
with the services he or she receives. A
consumer who is not satisfied has the right
to request a change in their services.
