Consumer Directed Services
We Accept Medicaid for Consumer Directed Services (CDS)
As part of our home health care services, Allure Home Health Services in Weldon Spring, MO, provides Consumer Directed Services (CDS), a Medicaid-supported program. CDS allows individuals who receive home health care services to have more control over their care. In this program, the individual, or their authorized representative, is responsible for hiring, training, and managing their personal care attendant (PCA). Through Medicaid, the program provides financial assistance for the individual to pay their PCA and covers other expenses related to their care. This allows the individual to have more say in the services they receive and how they are delivered.
