I'm a Participant/Designated Representative.

I'm a Direct Service Worker/Caregiver.

I want to enroll or help my Participant enroll in services.

For the Participant Direction Option (PDO), you must:
  • Be enrolled in a Florida Medicaid managed care Long-Term Care (LTC) waiver
  • Reside in your own home
  • Have one or more PDO eligible services, such as Personal Care, Homemaker, etc., on your care plan
  • Have access to the internet, a smartphone or computer, and a valid email address

I want to hire a worker.

A Direct Service Worker (DSW) is an employee that you hire to provide your PDO services. Your DSW can be anyone you choose, including a neighbor, family member, or friend.
 
It is up to you to decide what qualities are important to you in a DSW and to tell your DSW what your needs are.
