Hiring the right caregiver can feel overwhelming — but Consumer Directed Services (CDS) gives Texas families the freedom to choose who provides care for their loved ones.
Here are a few tips to make the process easier:
- Define Your Needs: Working with your insurance Service Coordinator, determine how many hours you need, what tasks are required, and what skills matter most.
- Offer Competitive Pay: Thanks to the 2025 rate increases, families can now offer better wages to attract top candidates.
- Leverage Your Network: Start with friends, church groups, and community boards before posting online.
- Interview With Confidence: Ask about experience, availability, and comfort with your loved one’s needs.
With CDS, you’re in control — but you’re not alone. At EAK Consumer Directed Services, we guide families through payroll, compliance, and hiring so you can focus on finding the right fit.
