Cherish
A PCA / Independent Living / Home Management Agency
Cherish Community First Services and Supports (PCA) is a program that allows you to have
greater control and choice in
hiring, training, scheduling your Support Staff.
You have the option of choosing your own caregivers including your friends and family members. That way you can be sure your care is being provided by someone you already know and trust.
If you already have staff, MN law allows you to take them with you to Cherish.
If you don’t have someone you would like to hire, Cherish has trained staff for you.
If you receive county services, have a PCA assessment completed
by the county public health nurse.
