RCIL is an approved facilitator for the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP). We are partnering with the new statewide fiscal intermediary, Public Partnerships LLC (PPL).

RCIL (Resource Center for Independent Living) is working closely with PPL (Public Partnerships LLC) to support you through the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP). RCIL helps guide you through the registration process and ongoing support, while PPL handles administrative tasks such as processing payroll and benefits. Together, RCIL and PPL work to support you to hire, train, and direct the caregivers of your choice while ensuring you have the tools and support needed to manage your care independently.

For more information on enrolling in CDPAP please visit pplfirst.com or contact RCIL CDPAP staff at RCILCDPAP@rcil.com.

RCIL believes that every individual deserves the freedom and flexibility to live life on their own terms. With CDPAP, you can hire and train trusted caregivers to assist with everyday tasks or in home nursing care. Whether you choose a friend, family member, or neighbor, you'll be able to live at home while maintaining independence in your daily life.
