Consumer-Directed Services
Mount Rogers provides Service Facilitation to allow individuals and their families to choose from a variety of consumer-directed service options. These include: personal assistance, companion, and respite services. Consumer-Directed services are available under the ID Medicaid Waiver. The individual is the employer in these services and, as such, is responsible for hiring, training, supervising, and firing assistants or companions. If the individual is unable to independently manage his or her own Consumer Directed Services or if the individual is under 18 years of age, a family member/caregiver may serve as the employer on behalf of the individual.
