What is Consumer Directed Home Care?

We are a contracted provider for Medicaid Home Care services that enables you or your designated representative(s) to…
- Recruit
- Interview
- Hire
- Train
- Manage
- Dismiss
…your own personal aid.

With Independent Home Care’s Consumer-Directed program, you choose the workers that you want and we take care of the payroll.
