Frequently Asked Questions

Persons with developmental/intellectual disabilities who have a current CIH or FSW waiver.  The person must either live in the family's home or have close family contact and support.

Person First, Inc. does not own or control any waiver homes or apartments.  We do not participate in placing people into new homes.  Most of the people we serve live in or nearby their family's home or with a person trusted by the Individual or family.

The answer to this question is "mostly no".  The families who partner with us would prefer not to have strangers enter their homes.  They would rather identify and select their own caregivers, often people they already know and trust.  Person First, Inc. qualifies those people, hires them as staff, then provides training and support for the time they are caregivers.  Person First caregivers are here because they wanted to be with the Individual in the first place - not just because they needed a job.
