It outlines eligibility and referral processes, highlighting an Oregon model where clinicians screen needs and third-party agencies document qualifications for scheduled PCA hours. The session describes roles of PCS for behavioral health, including resiliency, hope, choice, independence, wellbeing, and empowerment, and clarifies how PCS complements rather than replaces natural community supports through individualized relationships.","Recovery through Personal Care Services(PCS)  \nDaniel B. Fisher, MD, PhD  \nR. Drake Ewbank, QHMA, PSS, PCA National Coalition for Mental Health Recovery  \nWebinar  \nDisclaimer  \n• This webinar was developed [in part] under contract number HHSS283201200021I/HHS28342003T from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) .  \n• The views, policies and opinions expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of SAMHSA or HHS.  \nRecovery through Personal Care Services (PCS)  \nIntroduction  \nWhy are PCS’s an important component in recovery?  \n• Personal Care Services (PCS) consist of:  \nPersonal Care Assistants (PCA’s) as a treatment resource provided to persons that meet a basic criteria established around “Activities of Daily Living”(ADL’s) . The assignment of a PCA to an individual is made by case managers. This basic need and eligibility determination is made by the case manager and documented on a check box based form that lists individual needs and qualifications.  \nRecovery Through Personal Care Services  \nIntroduction (continued)  \n*As the mental health system shifts its culture from institutional, professionally directed-services, to recovery-based services and supports, PCAs are oneof the ways to enable individuals to integrate into the community and maintain themselves independently.  \n*An individual can access a substantial amount of relatively low cost personal support services that provide support to the goals of independent living, self determination, and social integration in their  \ncommunity.  \nRecovery through Personal Care Services(PCS)  \nPCA’s designated for behavioral health can further each person’s….  \n- Resiliency,  \n- Hope and choice,  \n- Independence in the community,  \n- General wellbeing, and  \n- Self direction and empowerment;…by developing the personalized relationships that enable the person recovering to transition from dependency on professionally-directed  \ncare to self-direction and health goals that are defined  \nmore by the individual.  \nRecovery through Personal Care Services (PCS)  \nWorking Examples – Oregon since 1996  \nMental health eligibility for the Oregon PCA 20 Program (20 hours a month of PCA services) is first screened by a clinician or supervised  \ncase manager. This person then makes a personal care referral. Then full eligibility is signed off on by an independent third-party agency in Oregon, which is currently the non profit Comagine, Inc. who employs specific case managers just to assess and document a valid need for the services.  \nRecovery through Personal Care Services(PCS)  \nEligibility criteria for the Oregon PCS program:  \nThe assessment needs to show that, due to some aspect of mental health need, that the person needs assistance for at least one hour a month for one of the 1st tier major ADL’s (nutrition, medication, food preparation, and or hygiene) .  \nThen based on that hour, the person automatically qualifies for 19 hours a month of assistance with 1 st or 2 nd tier “Instrumental” ADLs (iADL’s) for a total of 20 hours. More hours are possible if the need can be  \ndocumented.  \nRecovery through Personal Care Services (PCS)  \nDescription of PCS and support services  \nWhat are iADL’s and how do they fill the gap in mental health services?  \niADL’s consist of budgeting, cognitive support that can include managing cognitive social functioning, transportation to appointments and other necessary destinations, meal planning, and help with lighthousekeeping that can keep people living in their home.  \nThese supports can also act as a bridge from professional services to more natural and self-directed  \ncommunity engagements.  \nRecovery through Personal Care Services (PCS)  \nPCA Services and Natural Supports  \n- PCA’s provide large amounts of in person support and services, which at times resemble natural supports  \n- PCA’s are not meant to replace natural supports though can a","cbCaididqSnWhea2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaididqSnWhea2","pdf",240867,1,15,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Why PCS are an important component in recovery\n## PCA designated for behavioral health\n# Working Examples – Oregon since 1996\n## Eligibility criteria for the Oregon PCS program\n# Description of PCS and support services\n## What are iADL’s and how do they fill the gap\n# PCA Services and Natural Supports\n## Roles and relationship to natural supports\n# Responsibilities","[{\"question\":\"What are Personal Care Services (PCS) and how are PCAs assigned?\",\"answer\":\"PCS include Personal Care Assistants (PCAs) provided based on eligibility criteria related to Activities of Daily Living (ADL).
