The flexibility of Consumer Direction services allows her to set her schedule when she needs support from her workers.

Gary, 10 year Participant: "As a quadriplegic, he (Gary) has high level ADLs and needs skilled workers he trusts. He strongly believes he would not have the same quality of life if he wasn't self-directing his care. He's said everyone should ask their Care Coordinator about Consumer Direction (Self-Direction)."

April, Participant: April is a newer member and said before she went through agencies that were unreliable. Now that she's on Consumer Direction, she has a worker who she knows and likes and is always there when she needs her.
