"HIRE" A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND TO CARE FOR YOU AND THEY'LL GET PAID!

STEP 1-GET ASSESSED

A nurse will visit you at home to determine if you’re eligible for the CDS program. You'll find out how many weekly hours of care you can get.

STEP 2-CHOOSE A CAREGIVER

You choose a caregiver: your daughter, son, relative, or friend. We come to your home to enroll you in the program.
