Participant Assistance and Care (PAC)

Participant Assistance and Care services is provided by R&R Adaptive Abilities Mentors to allow individuals with disabilities to remain and live successfully in their own homes, function and participate in their communities and avoid institutionalization. PAC services support and enable the participant in activities of daily living, self-care, and mobility with the hands-on assistance, prompting, reminders, supervision, and monitoring needed to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the participant.

• Assistance with correspondence and bill-paying.
