Get Started with PCA Services

How do I qualify
​for PCA Services?

To get started, contact your county's intake request line to request an in-home PCA assessment with a county contractor (phone numbers below). If the assessment determines that you (or the client) qualifies for PCA services, the county will determine via the MN Dept. of Human Services score panel, the number of PCA units (hours) to be allocated. You will then select a PCA agency of your choice that you would like to work with.

If you select A Chance To Grow as your PCA agency, one of our nurses will visit your home and begin the intake process. This includes assessment of your needs, new client paperwork, and authorization of release if you are currently working with another PCA company.
