Choice in Supports for Independent Living (CSIL)

Choice in Supports for Independent Living (CSIL) is a self-managed care option for home support services where funds are provided to eligible clients to purchase and manage their own home support services.

CSIL补充说，在您的家人，朋友和您的社区的帮助下，不会替代您的努力为自己照顾自己。

To qualify for CSIL funding you must:

• 19岁或以上
• 能够维irect and manage the CSIL contract obligations, or have an alternate decision maker to do this for you.
• 能够维irect all aspects of your care, or have an alternate decision maker to do this for you
• be medically and functionally stable
• 需要每日个人援助
• 被批准为家庭支持服务

You must also complete an orientation before you sign the CSIL agreement.

How much funding do I get?

Your Case Manager will work with you to determine the amount of service you will receive based on your personal care needs. We base funding on the current hourly CSIL rate and the number of hours of personal care you need. CSIL funds cover the costs of managing your home supports (such as wages, advertising, bookkeeping, etc.).

我的职责是什么？

您需要签署一项协议，该协议概述了您所需的内容以及如何报告您对资金的使用。

You, or a person who makes decisions for you, are responsible for managing and coordinating your home support services. This includes hiring, training, disciplining and, if necessary, firing your own caregiver(s).

你是雇主。您必须遵循加拿大税务局，WorkafeBC和就业标准法规。

You must submit regular financial reports to show how you have spent the funds.
