The Consumer Directed Personal Assistant program (CDPAP) also referred to as the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Services (CDPAS) is an alternative to the traditional Home Care Services. It is a self-Directed home care program available to Medicaid Eligible Consumers who are in need of home care services and are capable of directing their own care.
