Embrace Life Services offers a range of in-home support services, including respite care, habilitation, attendant supervision, and attendant care. We also offer transportation to day programs.
As per our contract with the state of Arizona, we are required to use Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) to comply with federal mandates for paperless documentation and fraud prevention. Embrace Life Services uses MITC for EVV purposes. Please note that live-in caregivers and Direct Care Workers (DCWs) are exempt from using EVV.
Before providers begin delivering services, a Person-Centered Services Plan (PCSP) is required to develop goals and teaching strategies. We maintain close communication with the families and caregivers of the individuals we serve to ensure that the services meet their expectations.
Families should be aware of the type and amount of services authorized by the Division of Developmental Disabilities, as each family's needs differ. Embrace Life Services will ensure you receive the correct authorized services and that they are utilized accurately. If you are unsure, we will work closely with your Support Coordinator to ensure all your service needs are met.
