Review for Consumer Directed Choices, Inc., Albany, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My brother and I have been taking care of our developmentally disabled younger brother for more than 40 years. He recently became quite ill, is no longer able to eat or drink other than have sips with medicine, gets his nutrition from a catheter in his arm and has other major health issues. We have become his full time caregivers at home. When I saw an advertisement on TV promoting a Medicaid program that provides services by a paid personal care aide who can be a family member, I started researching companies who can help set up this type of arrangement. I am so happy that I found Consumer Directed Choices. They are a not-for-profit organization and truly cared about assisting me to get my brother the help he needs and keep him comfortable living at home with us. It was obvious from my first telephone conversation with Myakye Aung, their Outreach Associate that Consumer Directed Choices wanted to help, and that the client and family are of utmost importance to them. They listen, follow up, and are patient - something you don't find too often in a money driven world. I highly recommend Consumer Directed Choices to anyone who is looking for assistance with setting up a Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) for a disabled relative. They are professional, honest, and exceeded my expectations.
