Jefferson County & Crystal City MO In-Home Care | Consumer Directed Services
What Are Consumer Directed Services (CDS)?
How Does the CDS Program Work?
Consumer-directed services (CDS) are designed for Missouri Medicaid-eligible individuals who need assistance to remain at home but want to maintain control over their care. This program is perfect for those who are capable of managing their own services or have a trusted family member or friend to help.
At Cooperative Home Care, we guide you through the process of hiring, training, and employing your caregivers. These caregivers can be family members, friends, or even neighbors—with the exception of spouses. This flexibility allows you to create a care plan that feels comfortable and personalized.
Our CDS program includes services like:
- Personal Care Assistance: Bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting.
- Health Support: Light health-related tasks to ensure your well-being.
- Housekeeping & Meal Preparation: Keeping your home clean and meals nutritious.
- Transportation: Helping you get to appointments or run errands.
By choosing CDS, you gain the independence to direct your care while receiving the support you need to thrive at home.
