Why Public Partnerships Colorado?

 

At Public Partnerships, we are the biggest FMS nationwide and we have a local presence, provide lower cost to YOU and have developed our own products like the Time4Care app which allows Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system to meet federal compliance.  All to make it easier for you!. 

In Colorado alone, we currently partner with Health Care Policy and Financing and serve over 3,000 members and over 9,000 attendants across the state.  Colorado participants are the elderly, individuals with development and intellectual disabilities, and physical disabilities, who prefer to remain in their home and active within their communities as opposed to restrictive institutional and agency mode options. 

Nearly 80%

of all CDASS programs Coloradan’s currently self-direct their care, trusting and relying on us to pay their attendants.

Self-directing the care you need or that of a loved one IS a BIG decision!

 

It allows you to focus on living your life in a way that gives you or your loved one the greatest choice and control that you want. All while, Public Partnerships focuses on paying your attendants for the services you need and managing their taxes.

The Coulson's Self-Directed Home Care Journey

We would LOVE to share more about how your needs and that of your family, combine with our:

 

Reliability: We have serviced Coloradan’s self-directing their care since 2009 and while smaller competitors are coming and going, we are not going anywhere. We stand by you!

Enrollment Assistance: To assist with expediting the enrollment process, PPL has streamlined online enrollment that alleviates the mailing of enrollment packets.

Providing Lower Costs:

    • Our role is to assist YOU to become an employer of your own care workers. This includes assisting in vetting them for employment, paying, and deducting taxes.
    • YOU set the wages of your employee, based on your allocated CDASS budget, your needs and preferences, and in line with the states’ minimum wage (currently $12.32 per hour).
    • YOU are in control. As an employer, you also have state and federal tax and workers’ insurance costs to pay. Insurance protects you and covers your worker(s) if they become ill or are injured in performing their duties for you. Our role is to ensure ALL the correct and appropriate deductions are taken.
    • We know Colorado. We are experienced in ensuring the right taxation levels and can secure lower rates for workers’ compensation insurance costs versus incoming smaller financial management service providers. This means one thing: Lower costs for YOU.
