Know Your Rights: Keeping Myself Safe at Home

All people, including those we support, have the same rights. Person Centered Services is dedicated to helping people exercise their rights and reach their potential.

 

 

It is your right to be safe and secure in your own home. Understand accessibility concerns both inside and outside the home, and create a safety plan for emergencies, keeping safety kits, supplies and equipment on hand.

Check out the free resources on emergency preparedness and safety below, and remember that your Care Coordinator is always there to help!
