Consumer Directed
Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP)

Get the Care You Need, from the People You Trust
What is CDPAP?
CDPAP (Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program) is a Medicaid program that allows individuals who require home care services to select and manage their own caregivers. Unlike traditional home care programs where an agency assigns a professional caregiver, CDPAP empowers patients to choose a family member, friend, or trusted individual to provide their care.
With CDPAP, caregivers do not need formal certification or training, allowing for a more comfortable and personalized care experience.
