Finding and keeping quality attendants has become increasingly challenging in Texas. But with Consumer Directed Services (CDS) and the 2025 Medicaid rate increases, families now have more power to compete in a tough job market.
Here’s how CDS helps you stand out:
- Set Competitive Pay: Higher reimbursement rates mean you can pay attendants more.
- Offer Flexibility: CDS lets you create schedules that work for your family and your caregiver.
- Choose Who Cares for Your Loved One: You’re in control of hiring — not an agency.
Attendant shortages are real, but CDS families have a unique advantage. When you combine flexibility, better pay, and personal choice, you can attract dedicated caregivers and keep them long-term.
At EAK Consumer Directed Services, we make the process easy. From setting wages to onboarding attendants, we help families take full advantage of CDS benefits.
