consumer-directed care

Consumer-directed care is a flexible approach that allows individuals to manage their own healthcare services or support. Instead of traditional agency-based care, clients receive a budget or funds to choose, hire, and oversee their caregivers or providers based on their specific needs and preferences. This model empowers people to tailor their care plans, fostering greater independence and control over their health and well-being. It promotes personalized support while maintaining oversight and accountability through approved providers or agencies.
