Frequently Asked
Questions

What is Consumer Directed Services (CDS)?

Consumer Directed Services (CDS) is a program in Missouri that provides home care services for people with physical disabilities. The PCAs (Personal Care Attendants) help care-recipients live in their own homes, instead of an institution or facility where they would be more restricted.

The concept of consumer directed services is to let the client (care recipient) be in charge when it comes to their need for assistance. They know best what they can do on their own, with CDS giving them a way hire caregivers who will suit specific needs–and because Medicaid funds these programs there’s no worry about additional medical bills!

Having a personal care assistant will help you live life on your own terms. You can continue working, going to school or pursuing hobbies and passions that otherwise might be out of reach due the limitations imposed by being disabled.

Here are the eligibility requirements:

  • Be a Missouri resident above the age of 18 years.
  • Have a physical disability that makes you unable to perform Activities of Daily Living.
  • Require the level of care that might be provided at a nursing home.
  • Be able to direct your caregiver and train them according to your needs.

You do not have to be a senior to qualify for CDS, although many program participants happen to fall in the elderly category
