FAQs

A Medicaid program that provides eligible individuals with self- directed home care services.

Patients who require help with Activities of Daily Living (ADL) or skilled nursing services select a Personal Assistant (PA) and assume responsibility for all care-related arrangements (i.e. hiring, training, scheduling, back up coverage), while the CDPAP Agency manages all back office functions.

Recipients must be able and willing to make informed choices regarding the management of the services they receive, or have a designated representative able and willing to help make informed choices.

Caregivers under CDPAP can be family members, friends, or anyone else the patient chooses and trusts*.

*With exception to: Spouse, Designated Representative, Parent of a child under 21, Legal Guardian
