About FPCC

A CERTIFIED IRIS CONSULTANT AGENCY (ICA)

First Person Care Consultants is a nonprofit organization and certified IRIS Consultant Agency (ICA). We provide experienced IRIS consultants to support Wisconsin participants as they self-direct their long-term care services. Before founding First Person Care Consultants, our leadership developed programming for the Centers for Independence, our parent organization that has been serving communities for more than 80 years.

WHO WE ARE

Our consultants are skilled with working with people with disabilities and the elderly, and many of them have comprehensive backgrounds in therapy, trauma informed care, mental health, and alcohol and other drug abuse, in addition to serving people in the IRIS program. You can be confident that your First Person Care Consultant is a strong advocate for your ability to make your own decisions and self-direct your care. Since our company grew out of, and is an affiliate of, the Centers for Independence, our consultants have a deep appreciation for the principles of self-direction

We serve the disabled and elderly communities in southeastern Wisconsin who are enrolled in the IRIS program. The IRIS program is a Medicaid waiver program that qualified participants opt into to receive care and services to help them remain independent.
