In 2025, Texas HHSC increased Medicaid attendant reimbursement rates, which is great news for families using Consumer Directed Services (CDS).
With these higher rates, you have more control over your home care budget — and more room to pay attendants competitively. That means you can:
- Attract qualified, reliable caregivers
- Reduce turnover by keeping your best attendants
- Compete with agencies offering similar pay
This is an opportunity to revisit your pay strategy. Families using CDS can now adjust wages, advertise competitive rates, and stand out to potential attendants in a tight labor market.
At EAK Good Neighbor, we’ll help you:
- Calculate your maximum allowable wages
- Stay compliant with HHSC guidelines
- Build a hiring plan that works
