Emergency Back Up Personal Assistant Program
This Back Up PA Service was created to address certain emergency personal assistance needs during the hours of 6 a.m. to 12 noon by dispatching a Certified Nursing Assistant to help the consumer with getting out of bed, eating, toileting and a other urgent needs.
This service is a new and still expanding program provided jointly by Access Living and the Progress Center for Independent Living. It provides emergency services to people getting home services through the state of Illinois Home Service Program and who are enrolled in the program which currently serves only some designated areas of Cook County. Consumers, if qualified, can sign up for the program with the Back-up PA Program Coordinator.
