One of the latest updates in self-directed care is\u00a0<strong>Community First Services and Supports (CFSS)<\/strong>, which gives participants living in the community more\u00a0<strong>choice and control<\/strong>\u00a0over the care they receive.<\/p>\n<p>CFSS replaces both the Personal Care Assistant (<strong>PCA Choice<\/strong>) service and the\u00a0<strong>Consumer Support Grant (CSG)<\/strong>, while maintaining the core services participants rely on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Stays the Same with CFSS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your Service Provider and Caregivers<\/strong>: You can continue working with\u00a0<strong>Lifeworks<\/strong>\u00a0and your current caregivers when transitioning from PCA Choice or CSG to CFSS, ensuring a smooth transition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eligibility<\/strong>: CFSS has the same eligibility rules based on the \u00a0<strong>MnCHOICES assessment<\/strong>. If you qualified for PCA Choice or CSG, you are eligible for CFSS.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Covered Services<\/strong>: CFSS offers support for \u00a0<strong>activities of daily living (ADLs)<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs)<\/strong>, health-related procedures, observation, and redirection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Self-Direction<\/strong>: You, or your representative, will maintain the ability to direct your own care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s New with CFSS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CFSS introduces several key changes designed to give participants more flexibility and independence:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Consultation Services:<\/strong>\u00a0All CFSS participants will choose a consultation<br role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/>provider to learn about your options with CFSS and to help you write and review your CFSS Service Delivery Plan. Lifeworks is an approved consultation provider; however, you must choose a consultation provider different from your service provider.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Budget Model:<\/strong>\u00a0Lifeworks provides CFSS using the\u00a0<strong>budget model<\/strong>, which is dollar based instead of unit based. Participants are the employers of their support workers and will recruit, hire, train, and supervise them. As a Financial Management Services (FMS) provider, Lifeworks will ensure compliance with labor laws, processing payroll, obtaining necessary insurances, and more.\n<ul>\n<li>For participants transitioning from CSG to CFSS, budgets will be approximately twice as large unless eligibility changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Family Members as Support Workers:<\/strong>\u00a0In CFSS, a participant\u2019s spouse or parent of a minor will be able to provide CFSS services. However, Responsible Parties cannot be staff for a participant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Goods and Services:<\/strong>\u00a0CFSS participants will be able to purchase goods and services that reduce the need for human assistance and\/or give the participant more independence and control, such as home modifications or laundry service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Next for CFSS Participants?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The transition to CFSS will take place during your\u00a0<strong>annual renewal process<\/strong>. During your annual assessment, your MnCHOICES assessor will provide detailed information about CFSS and help you select a consultation service provider.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lifeworks Services<\/strong>\u00a0is here to support you throughout the transition process. If you have questions about CFSS or need assistance, please feel free to contact us at\u00a0<strong>651-454-2732<\/strong>\u00a0or via email at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:contact@lifeworks.org\" aria-label=\"send an email to contact@lifeworks.org\" data-uw-rm-vglnk=\"\"><strong>contact@lifeworks.org<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Choose Lifeworks for CFSS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lifeworks is committed to making the transition to CFSS as seamless and supportive as possible.
