Twin Oaks Family Care is dedicated to serving the family. Our warm-hearted team delights in helping neighbors just like you receive wonderful care in the comfort of their home. If you're finding personal care and routine tasks around the home difficult to accomplish on your own, we're here to help!
CDS allows individuals to hire their own caregiver (family/friends) and the caregiver will be paid for their work through this State-funded program. Call us to find out how! We have years of experience, and we'll make getting started simple for you!
You hire who you want
As the Consumer, with the CDS program you will hire your own caregiver. A family member, friend, or anyone you choose to hire can become your attendant. We will work with them to complete necessary paperwork and background checks. It's that simple: you hire, we take care of the tax forms and all required documents for the State.
You set the schedule
Based on the State-provided care plan and authorized hours provided each month, you will be able to schedule your employee for the hours of your choice. No need to work around anyone else's schedule but your own!
You are supported
Twin Oaks Family Care will support you every step of the way. We will explain the program, provide resources, and give advice as needed, all with the goal of empowering you to self-direct your care in the most successful way possible. As your Fiscal Intermediary, we handle your attendant's pay, taxes, and all paperwork needed.
Your goals are met
Our desire is for you and your family to reach your goals -- whether it's staying in your home, helping your loved one earn while they are helping you, or a combination of both! We will support you in realizing those goals are met!
You have options
Still have questions? Please do not feel that you need to know all there is to know about CDS before you can get started. We understand how overwhelming this can feel, and we are happy to help. With just a simple phone call, our kind staff will walk you through your options and ensure you find exactly the right fit for you and your goals.

BENEVOLENCE
Building personal relationships within the Therapeutic Team is more important than profit.
