DHS to Host Personal Care Attendants Forum

May 11, 2021 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm

The Department of Human Services Medicaid Division is set to host two Virtual Zoom forum sessions this week and next announcing the launch of a program to help small businesses grow and new businesses get off the ground through a Personal Care Attendant  In-home Services program.

PCA Business Launch Zoom Forum Dates:

 May 7th: 10:30 am -12 pm

The need for in-home PCA services is great.  Nearly 20% of our total USVI population is over 65 years old and require some level of assistance with daily activities. PCA’s assist clients with Activities of Daily Living like personal grooming, light housekeeping, walking, positioning, meal prep, shopping, feeding, and more.

This program will benefit our senior citizens as well as the USVI business community, the disabled, and the VI community at large.

The PCA business program is open to churches with a 501(c)3, nonprofits, medical practices, and entrepreneurs. Very little start-up capital is needed and anyone with at least a high school diploma, who is able bodied with a clean background check, can become a Personal Care Attendant.

Please contact the DHS Medicaid Division at (340) 712-7100 ext. 7186 or e-mail pcamap@dhs.vi.gov to register and participate in this virtual information sharing session.
