About VAPCP

What we do

Personal care agencies are regulated by DMAS, licensed by the Virginia Department of Health, and paid — for much of this work — by Medicaid managed care. None of those groups is built around agency-directed personal care. VAPCP is. We give agencies the information, the relationships, and the voice in Richmond that they need to keep operating — so their clients can stay in their own homes, and the caregivers who make that possible can earn a living doing it.

The association:

Represents providers to the General Assembly, DMAS, the MCOs, and the public.
Sends legislative session alerts and regulatory notices so members hear about a change before it shows up in an audit.
Meets DMAS on a quarterly cycle and sits in CCC+ and related workgroups so personal care is in the room.
Holds a spring conference and a fall conference each year.
Maintains a member directory for referrals and for families seeking care.
Provides a searchable library of Virginia manuals and regulations at search.vapcp.org.

Board members are owners, operators, and senior managers who run agencies of the same kind as the members they represent. They volunteer. Advocacy is done by the Board, committee chairs, and members who take the time to show up — agency owners telling legislators directly what a reimbursement decision does to their caregivers and their clients.

Administration and meeting logistics are handled with ACS West, Inc. in Richmond.
