Mission: Delta center partners with people with disabilities and their communities to remove barriers and promote positive changes leading to greater independence for all.
Programs: Personal attendant services assists individuals with significant physical disabilities in accessing the attendant services necessary to remain in their homes and participate in their communities. The service is health-related as it addresses health and safety issues of individuals with disabilities living in the community. Services are consumer directed which means that consumers (individuals with disabilities) actually recruit, hire, train, and supervise their attendants. This results in a high level of consistent care and consumer satisfaction. All individuals served live in the st. Louis metropolitan area, access medicaid, and meet the level of care threshold to qualify for nursing home care. Delta center cds staff assure that consumers' needs are met and support is available.
