If you have an active Medicaid number, and you need help with personal care tasks (like bathing, dressing, cooking, cleaning). Next, you must be able to train, direct, and employ your own caregiver—with help from us. If you cannot train, direct, and employ your own caregiver, we can still help you through our traditional In-Home Services program, where we employ, staff and train your caregivers.

Funded by Missouri Medicaid. Great for someone who needs help at home but who doesn’t want a stranger caring for them. Great for someone who is already caring for a family member or friend-now they can earn money while doing so.

If you are caring for a loved one—family member or friend—you can work as their caregiver in our CDS program and earn money doing so.

There are many ads about the CDS program that all say different things but the facts are that it is funded by Missouri Medicaid and every provider is paid the same amount of money for this service. There are also a lot of new and inexperienced companies and people doing this program.

You should choose your CDS provider by considering 3 things: how long have they been in business? How long have their employees worked for them? And, what do their current clients say about them? Here are our answers to these questions:

How long have you been in business? Cooperative celebrates 35 years in 2021.

How long have your employees worked for you? Our team: Kim has 27 years of home care experience; Jessica has 17 years of home care experience. At our 2020 Caregiver Milestone Reception, we celebrated 38 employees, representing 320 years of service at Cooperative!
