Who We Are

Who We Are

As South Dakota’s Agency With Choice services provider, Consumer Direct Care Network South Dakota (CDSD) helps people and families who self-direct their in-home personal care through the Family Support 360 (FS 360) program.  We assist them with the enrollment process and support them as they hire and manage their employees.

Agency With Choice is a co-employment option where you control who provides your care and the level of care you need.

  • As the Co-Employer you recruit, hire, train, and schedule your employees.
  • CDSD is the Employer of Record and handles administrative and payroll tasks.

CDSD can help with:

  • Processing employee new hire paperwork
  • Running background checks on employees
  • Issuing employee paychecks and W-2s
  • Monitoring service utilization

You stay in control of your care by selecting, training, scheduling, and managing your employees.

We proudly support the FS 360 program. This program helps adults with developmental disabilities and families of children with developmental disabilities to make decisions about their lives, live and work where they choose, and fully participate in their communities.

What are Self-Directed Services?

Self-directed services help people who need long-term care stay in their homes and communities. It gives you control over your care, allowing you to choose, train, and manage your employee, who can be a trusted friend, neighbor, or relative.

In self-direction, you (or someone you trust):

  • Pick and train the people who care for you.
  • Plan when they’ll help.
  • Choose how they’ll assist you.

If you are in a Medicaid-supported program, you may qualify for a certain amount of care at home. The state works with a vendor to pay employees and help you buy approved goods and services. The state also checks if you qualify for other types of support.

With self-directed services:

  • You stay in your home and community.
  • You pick your employees, possibly even friends or family.
  • You manage your care. You are in charge.

Services through the FS 360 program may include:

  • Help getting around the house
  • Vehicle modifications
  • Companion services
  • Supported employment
  • Personal care in the home
  • Special medical adaptive equipment and supplies
  • Specialized therapies
  • Nutritional supplements
