Accra Care I is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals by offering personalized homecare services and support directly to clients in their own homes. They serve both children and adults, specializing in Self-directed Personal Care Assistance (PCA) Choice services. These services are designed to assist with the essential activities of daily living, such as dressing, grooming, eating, bathing, and mobility, as well as important household tasks like light housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation for adults. The flexibility of Accra Care I’s offerings means that assistance is available not only within the home but also in the community, catering to individuals who have a wide range of long-term care needs or disabilities.
A notable strength of Accra Care I lies in its expertise as a Financial Management Services (FMS) provider, simplifying the process for clients who wish to utilize self-directed services. Through programs like Consumer Directed Community Supports (CDCS) and the Consumer Support Grant (CSG), Accra Care I enables individuals to directly employ support workers and acquire the supports necessary to maintain an independent lifestyle in the community.

For IHS with training, a member of their trained staff is paired to ensure that care is both appropriate and comprehensive. Throughout each stage of service delivery, an assigned Accra Service Coordinator collaborates with the client and case manager to customize and administer their care plans, guaranteeing a highly individualized experience.
