WHAT IS
CONSUMER DIRECTED SERVICES?

Consumer Directed Services (CDS) is a Medicaid-funded home and community-based service program administered by the Missouri Division of Health and Senior Services (DHSS).
The Program permits elderly or disabled Medicaid-eligible people over the age of 18 to hire a friend or relative to be their caregivers (except their legal guardians and spouses), to help with daily activities, allowing them to receive care in the comfort of their homes.

CDS aims to help people live independently
and receive reliable care from people they trust.
