Consumer Directed Services
In the Consumer Directed Services (CDS) program, YOU direct your own care. You are the employer, and the attendant of your choosing is your employee. SIL has offered personal care services since 1984. Our number one goal is helping you maintain your independence. Your choice matters!
Application process: Individuals interested in receiving CDS must have an assessment completed by the Division of Senior and Disability Services (DSDS) to determine if you are eligible and, if so, what type of service you need. The assessment is free and can be scheduled by calling 866-835-3505, a toll-free number, and request to be assessed for CDS by DSDS staff. Have your Medicaid number ready.
