In collaboration with Granite State Independent Living, Applied Self-Direction created a case study to better understand how individuals who self-direct are faring during the COVID-19 pandemic. The case study states that 82% of COVID deaths in New Hampshire are related to long-term care facilities and 0% of deaths are related to COVID in Self-Direction, with only 1 reported case of infection in Self-Direction.
Enrollment is the process of getting set up with self-direction in your program and with your FMS provider such as PPL. The enrollment process collects, reviews, and verifies all required paperwork and information so you can hire and pay people to provide your care.
