Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program ("CDPAP") - this program allows those eligible for medicaid to select, train and direct their own caregivers. The wonderful part about the program is that it allows the individual to hire family members and friends, thus eliminating potential stress from strangers at home as well as language barrier issues. This greatly benefits both parties. Your caregiver gets paid and you get the care and comfort you deserve, without having a stranger in your home.
CDPAP allows close relatives such as children become caregivers and get paid. Caregivers are not required to have certification or licensing and can administer skilled services needed, such as shots. You may switch your caregiver at any time if you are not completely satisfied with the care he/she is providing. You get to decide who cares for you and the hours that suits your habits.
CDPAP allows you to create a schedule that best suits your needs and lifestyle. You can allocate weekly hours on a flexible day-to-day basis, rather than following a daily schedule of hours set by a third party agency. The program ultimately provides consumers with controls that many take for granted.

CDPAP is for people who have a stable medical illness or physical disability and require assistance with activities on a daily basis. One must be self-directing or have a representative that is able to manage care as per the program’s requirements.
You deserve to receive care from someone you trust, and CDPAP makes that possible.
I was so relieved to finally know that I could take care of my grandmother and get paid to do it! It's so important to me to know she gets care from someone who loves her.
