Our Services
are designed to maximize consumers’ independence at home and in the community.
ILRCCO serves consumers in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson Counties.
Personal Care Assistance Services (PCA) has expanded over the years as more and more people choose to live in their own homes and communities of their own choice. People with disabilities and older people rightfully continue to take control of their services to the greatest extent possible by managing their own attendants with or without ILRCCO support. It’s your choice.
We believe in full and equal participation in home, family, and community life. Our goal is to support you, as you stay active and independent. The foundation of our program is based on the principles of independent living, consumer control and self-direction. Our approach is rooted in experience from a peer perspective and our services are designed to increase independence and self-sufficiency.
ILRCCO consistently promotes freedom of choice, self-determination, and social acceptance of people with disabilities by providing the following services:

COVID-19 Guidance for Consumers with Personal Care Attendants & For Personal Care Attendants
Physical distancing is a critical practice for everyone during the COVID-19 response and whenever the virus is active in a community. However, many consumers rely on providers who come to our homes to support our health and other activities of daily living. Delivering those services, especially for people who may be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19, is necessary, even though it makes physical distancing difficult.
Please review Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment’s tip sheet for Personal Care Attendants, for people who use Personal Care Attendants, Colorado’s guidance for wearing masks, and CDC’s cleaning recommendations to make sure you and your Personal Care Attendant stay safe.
