Panhandle Independent Living Center (PILC) provides Independent Living Services (ILS) for the hard of hearing/deaf, visually impaired, blind, and those with mobility needs. They can provide hearing aids, visual aids, and mobility services such as ramps.

At the initial contact appointment, an ILS counselor will gather information to determine eligibility pertaining to the consumer’s service request. Information obtained will include verification of income and proof of residence in the state of Texas. After determining eligibility, the case goes to “active services” status where we obtain assessments and estimates of the needed equipment and/or services. We then submit a request for approval of the necessary purchases.  Once approval is obtained the equipment and services are purchased and delivered. They do not provide surgeries or extensive home modifications.
