Consumer Directed Services
What are Consumer Directed Services (CDS)?
CDS is a Medicaid based program which provides personal care attendant (PCA) services to individuals with disabilities, enabling them to live independently. The CDS Program is designed to assist individuals with disabilities to receive the attendant services they need to live safely in a home setting of their choice. A qualified friend or family member may be hired as an attendant, with the exception of a spouse or anyone under the age of 18.
To qualify for consumer-directed services, a person must be:
- Medicaid eligible (MO HealthNet)
- 18 years of age or older
- Able to direct their own care
- Physically disabled
- Capable of living independently with CDS services
Individuals on Medicaid will need to meet Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) requirements. DHSS will complete an assessment to determine the individual’s needs and forward a personalized care plan to Caring Professionals, LLC. Once a care plan is received, Caring Professionals, LLC will help you begin services.
