Campus Although Drexel University does not provide direct attendant care, ODS supplies information and resources for students who are searching for PCAs. Students often find attendants through personal contacts or agencies that provide the services throughout the city. Resources are available for students who will need an attendant before and after classes. Subsidized personal care is available through Homemaker Services funded by the PA Department of Public Welfare for residents of Philadelphia, Bucks, and Montgomery counties. There is a waiting list for this service.
Students are responsible for arranging and financing their own attendant care services.
These services should be secured prior to attending classes. 17605-0485 Students who do not qualify for this program can consider arranging attendant services independently.
