CDCS allows participants in waiver programs or Alternative Care to manage their own services and supports. These personalized supports help people to live at home and avoid or delay out-of-home placement. CDCS Support Planner services could include:
  • Providing information about CDCS, provider options and community resources
  • Helping to write a person-centered CDCS Community Support Plan
  • Helping to personalize a CDCS Community Support Plan based on the person's preferences and assessed needs
  • Helping the person to put their plan into action, and to monitor, evaluate and revise their plan
  • Helping to recruit, screen, hire, train, schedule and monitor workers
The person and/or family caregiver decides how much help they need from the CDCS Support Planner.
