Person Centered Services

Reach Your Potential

Welcome to Person Centered Services, where our mission is to connect people to the care, support and opportunities that maximize their quality of life

Person Centered Services is a Care Coordination Organization for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our job is to help individuals and families navigate a very complex system of services and supports. We do this through a holistic, customized Life Plan that promotes informed choices and independent decision-making.

A person-centered approach is a way of putting you at the center of everything Care Coordinators do. Care Coordinators recognize that every person has different wants, needs, and goals. As someone participating in Care Coordination, your unique needs and wants should direct every plan, goal, meeting, and support in which you participate. It is for you to decide what the plan should include and what things you should work on and it is the Care Coordinator’s role to help you achieve those things.

At Person Centered Services, Care Coordinators work on a Life Plan tailored to an individual’s needs. Care Coordinators focus on all services and resources a person might need, ranging from coordinating medical and dental appointments, to managing behavioral care, to monitoring safety needs. It’s an all-encompassing, health-focused continuous process.

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities may be eligible for supports and services from New York State’s Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), and therefore eligible for Care Coordination. If eligibility is not yet granted, our Intake Specialists can help with the eligibility process.

Care Coordinators support individuals with a qualifying condition. Examples of qualifying conditions include:

– Intellectual Disability

– Cerebral Palsy

– Epilepsy

– Neurological Impairment

– Autism

– Familial Dysautonomia

– Prader-Willi Syndrome
