Community First Services and Supports

Community First Services and Supports

Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) is a Minnesota health care program that offers flexible options to meet the unique needs of people. CFSS allows people greater independence in their homes and communities. CFSS will replace personal care assistance (PCA) and the Consumer Support Grant (CSG).

CFSS will cover the same main services as PCA

  • Activities of daily living, such as eating, bathing, grooming and transferring
  • Health-related tasks
  • Instrumental activities of daily living, such as shopping, cooking, laundry and assistance with self-administered medications
  • Observation and redirection of behavior.

Before taking the exam, we recommend taking the free PCA/CFSS training to help prepare you to pass.
