Choose Your Caregiver Through
Consumer Directed Services (CDS)
If you have a loved one in Missouri who needs help with daily activities, the Consumer Directed Services (CDS) program through Live 2 Give Home Healthcare in Saint Louis, MO, could be the perfect solution. This unique program allows individuals facing illness or disability to select a personal care attendant they trust, such as a family member or friend, to provide the care they need at home.
By choosing someone familiar, your loved one can feel safe and comfortable while receiving the support that empowers them to live independently.
