(Personal Care Assistance / Community First Services and Supports)
Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) is a Minnesota health care program designed to support individuals in living more independently in their homes and communities. CFSS is replacing the Personal Care Assistance (PCA) program and the Consumer Support Grant (CSG).
At Prime Choice Home Care, we provide flexible, person-centered PCA/CFSS services tailored to the unique needs, preferences, and goals of each individual we serve.
