The Virginia Association of Centers for Independent Living (VACIL), through a grant from the Virginia Board for People with Disabilities (VBPD) titled “Improving and Expanding Consumer-Directed Services” is working across Virginia to develop a workforce of Professional Consumer-Directed Assistants and to establish an electronic Professional Consumer-Directed Assistant Directory.
A Professional Consumer-Directed Assistant is a rewarding and meaningful career of serving others. It offers flexible hours and on the job training, requires no specialized or costly education or degree and provides a person with an opportunity to build valuable skills while earning pay.

Beginning July 1, 2011, individuals receiving respite care through the Medicaid waivers will have 480 hours to be used by June 30, 2012. This is a reduction from the 720 hours that were available in previous years. This reduction is permanent until such time as Virginia's General Assembly increases it.
Additionally, beginning September 1, 2011, attendant care hours will be capped at 56 hours per week. Individuals currently receiving more than 56 hours per week can appeal to have more hours per week. Please talk with your Service Facilitator. The Department of Medical Assistance Services (Medicaid) has not yet published specific rules regarding what documentation they will need to approve hours above this cap.
VAIL will keep individuals receiving this service informed of any changes in the future. |
