In-Home Support Services
Services YOU control!
Losing your independence can be a great fear and asking for assistance often does not come easily. Our goal is to help you maintain your independence. YOU decide whom you want to hire and YOU train them to do things Your way without agency control! You remain in your home, doing the things you love to do, with a little care and help from your chosen in-home assistance.
We approach in-home assistant services from the standpoint of having “been there”. With the right information and a little assistance, we know you can manage your own services. Our experience with disability and other health-related conditions will help you succeed.

The connection of our PAS to the other DAC IL services helps ensure your success.
Veteran Directed Care
Veteran-Directed Care gives Veterans of all ages the opportunity to receive Home and Community Services they need. It can provide assistance with daily activities (bathing, dressing, fixing meals) by providing a flexible budget that they can direct. They can even have their spouse as the paid caregiver!
Self-Direct Care: you handle everything about your care except paying the assistant.
You are in charge. You will be able to freely select, manage, and if necessary, dismiss your personal assistant according to your wants, not someone else’s!
1st Choice PAS provides: management of all payroll, taxes, and Worker’s Compensation Insurance. DAC provides ongoing assistant training and any support you need to be a successful employer. Our organization is a non-profit corporation. As a result, we pay higher wages to your assistants. Higher wages mean you keep good assistants longer.
