Personal Care Attendant Workforce Council (PCA COUNCIL)

Who we serve: The PCA Workforce Council serves MassHealth PCA Consumers and personal care attendants through its mission to ensure access to a quality workforce. To meet its mission, the Council works with other local and state organizations to provide consumers and PCAs with a range of recruitment, training and labor benefits.

ALERT

TODAY we are launching a dedicated hotline through MassOptions to connect MassHealth PCA Consumers to services in the event their PCA is unavailable. Consumers can call 1-844-422-6277 and will be connected  with home health services in their region. MassHealth has also updated its policies to temporarily suspend the PCA overtime cap and provide flexibility around home health aide training & certification requirements to streamline the hiring process and allow family members  to be considered for hire.
