Who are Personal Support Workers (PSWs)?

Individuals receiving Developmental Disabilities services (clients) and their families use Personal Support Workers (PSWs) for attendant care and relief care services in their own home. PSWs assist clients with personal care, household tasks and being active in the community by providing additional support and in some cases transportation.

A family member or guardian are registered as the Employer of Record (EOR) and act as the employer of the PSW, responsible for scheduling and approval of timesheets. Completed timesheets are submitted to our office, the Washington County Community Developmental Disabilities Program (CDDP) for authorization. Once timesheets are approved and submitted, payment is then processed by Public Partnerships (PPL), a separate financial management service that handles payroll for PSWs.

FAQs

Individuals receiving Developmental Disabilities services (clients) and their families use Personal Support Workers (PSWs) for attendant care and relief care services in their own home. PSWs assist clients with personal care, household tasks and being active in the community by providing additional support and in some cases transportation.

Most PSWs already have a connection to the individual they want to work with. Reach out to the client's Services Coordinator (case worker), to discuss potentially becoming a PSW and if this is a viable option.

If you are ready to begin the process visit our PSW Apply or Renew page.

For clients using an agency to coordinate personal support worker services the potential PSW will need to contact the agency to apply directly for employment through the agency.
