Founded in 1990, Consumer Direct Care Network (CDCN) assists people who self-direct their in-home personal care. Self-direction empowers people to manage their own services and supports, so they have more choice and control over how their care is delivered.

CDCN provides quality care and support to families and people of all ages, including older adults, children, and individuals with physical, intellectual, or developmental disabilities and veterans, so they can remain safe, healthy, and independent in their homes and communities.

• Our Mission is to provide care and support for people in their homes and communities.

• Our Vision is to help people live the life they want.

• Our Values are Respect, Integrity, Service, and Excellence.

At CDCN, you will be a valued member of a team that prioritizes collaboration and compassion in the community. We support individual growth and helping people build their careers in the home-care industry.
