Self-Directed Care (CDPAP)
Care from a Loved One
Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) is a Medicaid-funded program that allows you to choose your own caregiver. Participants and their families manage and execute care plans to meet the unique needs of the participant. This includes hiring, scheduling and training caregivers. After all, who better to care for you than a loved one?
Let Your Loved Ones Get Paid for Your Care
Your loved ones may already be taking on much of your daily care. With CDPAP, they can provide a higher level of care and get paid to do it. This program is 100% funded by Medicaid, so your loved ones can get paid to do the things they’re already helping you with.
Have Confidence in Your Care
Hire someone you already know and trust to be your caregiver, and be confident that you’re getting the personal, compassionate care you need from someone who understands your needs on an intimate level. Choose an adult child, relative or friend (anyone but a spouse) to get paid to do the things a personal care aide would handle:
- Laundry
- Light cleaning
- Grocery shopping
- Cooking
- Dressing and grooming
- Community engagement
- Medicine administration
- Other daily tasks and activities
Support When You Need It
Through CDPAP, you are responsible for hiring and supervising your own caregiver, but Venture Forthe is available for administrative and fiscal support. We’re also available to assist with required paperwork, to serve as a fiscal intermediary (required by Medicaid), and to answer any questions you might have.
