Consumer Directed Services (CDS) in Texas often allows family members to work as paid caregivers. Depending on the specific Medicaid program, there may be certain restrictions related to natural supports, household members, or family relationships. However, many families are surprised to learn that relatives can often be hired to provide care through Consumer Directed Services.
Finding someone you trust to care for yourself, or a loved one is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Consumer Directed Services gives individuals and families more control over who provides that care, allowing them to choose caregivers they already know and trust.
