Choose YOU First – A Self-Direction Podcast by PPL about all the perspectives of self-directed home care. Join us to learn more about it and hear from different people on their stories of personal experience with self-direction. 

Self-directed home care is a service model that empowers participants, usually eligible for Medicaid, with choice and control over the long-term services and supports they need to live at home, rather than with an agency or at a facility. Self-directed home care gives them the ability to hire their own care/support that they know and trust and schedule that support at the times that work for them. 

PPL is a large, nationally based Financial Management Services (FMS) provider. We support individuals with disabilities or chronic illnesses and aging adults, eligible for public Medicaid assistance, to “self-direct” their own long-term home care.  They have chosen to remain independent in their homes and active within their communities.

Personal Independence: Understanding EVV in Self-Direction!

"In the old days of EVV, that landline option really was one of the more prevalent options. But there are a ton of limitations that come with that. 1) It’s restricting somebody to the home. We know that services occur in the community and NEED to occur in the community. 2) It’s using a landline, which is becoming more and more outdated. […] So as things have evolved, mobile applications are much more user friendly for the provider AND also for the participants.”
