CDPAP is a statewide Medicaid program that provides an alternative way of receiving home care services where the consumer has more control over who provides their care and how it is provided. This means that patients who are eligible to receive home care can have a family member or someone they know and trust that is trained by the consumer/family to provide services. The consumer or advocate can recruit, interview, hire, train, schedule, and dismiss personal care assistants of their choice. Consumers assess their own needs, determine how and by whom these needs should be met, and monitor the quality of services received.
Before a person can receive services, his or her doctor must send a completed Physician’s Order for Services to the local social services district which then completes a social and nursing assessment. A nurse assessor then determines whether the recipient can appropriately participate in CDPAP and recommends the amount, frequency and duration of services.
