Voices for Independence

Why should you choose to work with Voices for Independence (VFI) for Personal Attendant Services?

First and foremost, VFI is a consumer controlled organization. Many of the staff who work at VFI also use attendant services. We understand, firsthand, that your goals and dreams can be affected by attendant services. VFI will also work with you to help you have as much control over your attendant care as you wish, within the limitations of the department of public welfare.

Second, when working with VFI you can choose to employ your own attendant under consumer model option, have VFI employ attendants for you under agency model option or use a combination of both models.*
