What is In-Home PCS?
Medicaid Personal Care Services (PCS) covers the services of an in-home aide in the patient’s private residence to assist with the patient’s personal care needs which are directly linked to a medical condition. It is often an alternative to placement in an adult care home (rest home). All patient assessments for PCS and all in-home aide supervision must be conducted by a registered nurse who is employed by a home care agency licensed in the State of NC. In-home aide hours are limited to no more than 3 ½ hours per day and no more than 60 hours per month.
