SUPPORTING YOU IN YOUR HOME AND COMMUNITY
SUPPORTING YOU IN YOUR HOME AND COMMUNITY
What are self-directed services?
Self-direction, also called consumer-direction, is a way for people who need long-term care to receive support and stay in their homes and communities. Consumer Direct Care Network offers self-directed services through a variety of self-directed programs across the country.
Self-direction is about personal choice, control, and flexibility.
How Does Self-Direction Work?
In self-direction, you (or someone you trust to make choices for you) pick and train the people who care for you, plan when they’ll help, and choose how they’ll assist you. With self-directed services:
- You stay in your home and community.
- You pick your caregivers, possibly even friends or family.
- You manage your care. You are in charge.
