Home Care Services & Delivery Methods

For families who wish to choose and direct their own caregiver, VACDS offers Service Facilitation under Virginia's Consumer-Directed model.

Our certified Service Facilitators support clients and their families by:

• Assisting with initial screenings and Medicaid documentation

• Helping select, train, and manage attendants (who may be family members or close friends)

• Conducting regular home visits to ensure quality and compliance

• Updating care plans and monitoring Medicaid eligibility requirements

• Maintaining funding streams for care by obtaining authorizations from DMAS & Managed Care Organizations

Eligible Services:

• Consumer-Directed Personal Care

• Consumer-Directed Respite Care

Who qualifies?
Medicaid recipients who prefer to self-direct care and can manage their attendant (or have a legally authorized representative to do so).

In this model, VACDS takes full responsibility for coordinating care. We assign qualified caregivers (such as Personal Care Aides) to assist your loved one based on a personalized care plan developed by our Nurse Management Team.

Services include:

• Personal Care – Assistance with daily living tasks such as bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, eating, and hygiene.

• Respite Care – Temporary relief for family caregivers while ensuring continuity of care and safety at home.

Who qualifies?
Medicaid recipients enrolled in qualifying DMAS waiver programs (such as CCC Plus or EDCD Waiver) who meet the medical or functional criteria for in-home assistance.
