The consumer's choice of attendants is not limited unless:
* The Counselor has specified that a particular attendant should not be employed; or
* The Counselor or RN has determined that the attendant is not providing adequate care
If an attendant is hired who has been identified as inappropriate or undesirable, they must meet with OSDP staff to discuss the issues and resolve the problem. If the problems occur regularly or cannot be resolved through discussion, the Counselor will document the discussion in AACE case notes and take appropriate action.
A current PCA should not continue unless:
* There is evidence to indicate that the PCA has abused, neglected, or exploited the consumer and others;
* The PCA has been providing inadequate care, and you have not been able to resolve the issue; or
* You discover that the PCA is the spouse or the individual legally responsible for the consumer.
