Community First Choice (CFC)

The CPSH AttendantCare Project increases awareness of the support options that are available to help adults living with intellectual/developmental disabilities and social challenges to live independently. Safety, making good decisions and being good neighbors are cornerstones of AttendantCare.

Texas Community First Choice (CFC) provides certain services and supports to individuals living in the community who are enrolled in the Medicaid program and meet CFC eligibility requirements. Services and supports may include:

activities of daily living (eating, toileting, and grooming), activities related to living independently in the community, and health-related tasks (personal assistance services);
acquisition, maintenance, and enhancement of skills necessary for the individuals to care for themselves and to live independently in the community (habilitation);
providing a backup system or ways to ensure continuity of services and supports (emergency response services); and
training people how to select, manage and dismiss their own attendants (support management).
