Private Pay Services – Empowering You to Take Control of Your Care

Your Care, Your Choice

At CDChoices, we believe quality care should be accessible and flexible, even for those who do not qualify for Medicaid. Our Private Pay Services allow individuals and families to hire and manage their own personal assistants (PAs), putting care control back into your hands.

Unlike traditional home care agencies, where caregivers are assigned to you, our Private Pay model allows you to choose your caregiver, whether it’s a family member, friend, or someone you find through our Workforce Recruitment Portal. We handle the administrative work, such as payroll and compliance, so you can focus on what matters most: getting the support you need, on your terms.

What is Private Pay?

Private Pay is an option for individuals who need in-home care but do not qualify for Medicaid or other government-funded programs. Instead of relying on insurance or state funding, you pay for services out of pocket, giving you complete control over who provides your care, how much they are paid, and when they work.

With CDChoices, Private Pay is simple:

  • You set the hourly wage for your personal assistant (PA).
  • You choose who provides your care: a family member, a friend, or a trusted assistant.
  • We handle payroll, taxes, and compliance, so you don’t have to worry about administrative burdens.

What can Personal Assistants Help With?

Your PA can assist with a variety of daily activities, including:

  • Personal Care – Help with grooming, dressing, bathing, and mobility support.
  • Household Tasks – Meal preparation, light housekeeping, and laundry.
  • Errands & Companionship – Grocery shopping, medication reminders, and social engagement.
