About Consumer Directed Services

Missouri's Consumer Directed Services (CDS) program allows Medicaid recipients to receive care from a family member or friend who gets paid as their caregiver. Family Love Care is an expert family caregiving provider with a proven track record of handling enrollment and support efficiently.
