Self-Determination Self-Determination refers to the individual having control over all aspects of his or her life, and exercising basic rights such as citizenship, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This impacts activities beyond the scope of long-term care services. Nothing about me without me My Life My Way!

  3. What Are Self-Directed Supports? Self-directed supports are a facet of the larger self-determination philosophy. Stated simply, participants in long-term care programs actively direct the supports and services being provided.

  4. Self-Directed Supports A Statutory requirement within Family Care: “Each person may arrange for, manage and monitor his or her family care benefit directly, or with the assistance of another person.” 

  5. Within the “Member Benefit” Needed support can be directly purchased & managed by an individual or family (Employer Authority) Or, all supports and services can be chosen, developed, and subject to change through the authority of the individual or family& allies. (Budget Authority)

  6. Authority Includes … Within a Fair and Equitable Amount of Funding: • Choosing where to live, who to live with and what to do during the day (Basic American freedoms); • Selecting and, if desired, changing agencies that provide services and support; • Hiring, training, dismissing support workers; • Opportunities to choose or to create unique support and services, individually or collectively.
