This report summarizes key findings from a 2018 study of the Massachusetts Personal Care Attendant (PCA) program. It describes the PCA consumer population and their use of the program, their needs, administrative issues, PCA recruitment and retention, consumer satisfaction, and recommendations for improvement. The report concludes with a synthesis of the findings and offers implications for future program directions.
