In what settings can Attendant Care be provided?

• A. In a hospital setting only.
• B. In the individual's home or in the community.
• C. In a school setting only.
• D. In a long-term care facility only.

Answer: (B)

Attendant Care is designed to help a person with a disability live as independently as possible in familiar environments, especially where they spend most of their day. That means it’s provided in the individual's own home or in community settings, supporting daily routines, transportation, and participation in activities outside the home. It’s not limited to care inside a hospital, a school, or a long-term care facility, which are specific environments that don’t capture the usual goal of helping someone stay independent at home and in the community.
