Advice for First Time Living Independently/Managing PCAs

Hello! I am a college student and will be living independently with just PCAs soon for the first time. I am very nervous about having to manage PCAs by myself and being alone during the day because I won't have 24/7 care. I'm still struggling with scheduling and finding people and school starts in just two months. If you have any advice, specific or general, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  1. Hi , I hope all goes well with school! While you're waiting for feedback from the community, I thought you might find some ideas in these articles:
