Consumer Direct Care Network launched a new website specifically for veterans and their attendants. You can now find Veteran Directed Care program resources on ConsumerDirectVeterans.com.
WE SPECIALIZE IN SELF-DIRECTED CARE
Self-direction, also called consumer-direction, is a way for people who need long-term care to receive support and stay in their homes and communities.
If you are enrolled in Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program), you may qualify for a certain amount of care at home.
Self-direction is about personal choice, control, and flexibility. In self-direction, you (or someone you trust to make choices for you) pick and train the attendants who care for you, plan when they’ll help, and choose how they’ll assist you.
With self-directed services:
- You stay in your home and community.
- You have budget authority over your Health First Colorado funds.
- You pick your attendants.
- You manage your care.
- You are in charge.
