 Consumer Directed Services

VNA has over 30 years of experience in home care.  Our primary goal has been to keep patients/clients independent in their homes.  We have years of experience working with clients and their families to help them remain as independent as possible.  In order to foster the consumer’s optimal level of independence within their home environment and community, the VNA will provide advocacy, independent living skills training, peer counseling, information and referral. 

Consumer Directed Services is a Medicaid funded program.  Consumer Directed Services enables physically disabled individuals to continue to live independently within their own home rather than going to a nursing facility.  CDS empowers the Consumer to remain in control of their lives by giving them the freedom to choose their own caregiver.  The caregiver may be a friend or family member other than a spouse.  This freedom of choice gives individuals peace of mind knowing that their personal care assistance and assistance with activities of daily living are being done by someone that they know and trust.   

 Eligibility Requirements: 

• Be Medicaid eligible
• Meet the level of care requirement set by DHSS
• Be capable of living independently with personal care assistance services as determined by the state
• Be physically disabled
• Be at least 18 years of age
• Be able and willing to direct his/her own care  
• SPECIAL NOTE: THE PERSONAL CARE SERVICE ATTENDENT CANNOT BE THE SPOUSE OF THE CONSUMER
