DIRECT has an attendant care program for those that are eligible for Arizona Long Term Care. The persons who are AHCCCS eligible are referred to DIRECT through Pima Health Systems. DIRECT trains attendants who become Arizona Long Term Care Certified. Once the attendant is trained they are placed in the homes of those referred by Pima Health Systems. In addition to attendant care, DIRECT offers Personal Care Services, Housekeeping, and Respite services for short term care. Anyone interested in providing attendant care should pick up an application at DIRECT. For more information about the attendant care program please contact Gail Herbert.
