Customer-Directed Service Programs

Modernize Your CDS Program with AllWork

Onboard, Manage, and Pay Caregivers — Compliantly and Efficiently

AllWork tailors its solutions to meet the unique requirements of different state, municipal, and population-specific Consumer-Directed (CDS) programs — while keeping the caregiver experience at the center of everything we do.

AllWork’s modern technology adapts to the varying needs of each program, helping you manage your caregiver workforce efficiently while reducing friction for everyone involved.


What is a Customer-Directed Service Program?

A Self-Directed Service (SDS) program is a type of government-funded care program that allows individuals to manage their own care services instead of receiving services only through traditional home care agencies.

The goal is personal choice, dignity, and independence — empowering people to live at home on their own terms while solving the national caregiver workforce shortage. 

Who uses it?

  • People with disabilities who want to live independently at home

  • Seniors who need daily help but want familiar caregivers such as a family member or friend

  • Families who want to pay a relative or trusted friend for providing care

Examples of SDS programs:

  • Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) in New York

  • Participant-Directed Services under Medicaid Waivers in many states

  • Self-Directed Medicaid Waiver Programs for people with developmental disabilities
