Personal Assistant Services
Your Key To Accessibility
Independent Living allows you to make decisions that affect your life by being able to pursue activities that you choose. The definition of independent living for people with disabilities is no different from non-disabled people - everyone needs a choice.
The BHCIL philosophy provides you with enough accurate information to make choices for yourself. We do not do things for people with disabilities, we help people do for themselves.
Learn to achieve a more independent lifestyle. Black Hawk Center for Independent Living offers classes to help you work with your PA on a more efficient level.
