CDPAP SERVICES As of 4/1/2025

Americare has discontinued offering services through the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP)

We deeply appreciate the trust and relationships built with our clients and caregivers through this program. While this marks the end of one chapter, it also opens the door to new opportunities within the Americare family.
