P/FDS Waiver (Person/Family Directed Support Waiver)

The P/FDS Waiver is a Pennsylvania Medicaid program that provides essential support services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. At BDC Home Care, we are proud to deliver services under this waiver, helping people live safely and independently in their homes and communities. This waiver is ideal for individuals who do not require 24-hour residential care but still benefit from routine assistance and structured support.

Designed for Independence at Home

Unlike other waivers that focus on full-time supervision, the P/FDS Waiver is tailored for individuals who live at home — either with family or independently — and want more control over how their services are delivered. The program gives families and individuals the ability to guide their own care with the flexibility to choose the types of support that best meet their personal goals and lifestyle. With our help, participants receive the tools and assistance they need while staying connected to their families and familiar routines.

Meaningful Daily Support

At BDC Home Care, our team provides caring, reliable support to help clients manage everyday tasks, build life skills, and participate in their communities. Whether it’s help with personal care, access to day programs, or support finding a job, we ensure each service is delivered with respect and compassion. Our approach focuses on promoting self-reliance, emotional well-being, and personal achievement — always at a pace and level that suits the individual.

Flexible and Personalized Services

Each care plan under the P/FDS Waiver is developed in close collaboration with the participant, their family, and care coordinators. Services are guided by an annual budget that can be allocated across different areas of support. This structure offers greater flexibility, empowering individuals and families to direct their care in a way that truly fits their lives. Our role is to provide professional guidance, dependable care, and a personalized experience every step of the way.

Care That Respects Your Choices

The P/FDS Waiver isn’t just about support — it’s about freedom. It gives individuals the power to make decisions about their care, maintain their independence, and achieve personal goals. At BDC Home Care, we are here to walk beside every client on their path to a more independent and fulfilling life, providing the right care, at the right time, in the way that works best for them.
