“…The Cash & Counseling Demonstration and Evaluation, the largest self-direction trial to date, was a randomized experiment involving over 6,700 Medicaid personal care beneficiaries with long-term service and support needs in three states (Doty, Mahoney, & Simon-Rusinowitz, 2007). In the Demonstration, those receiving self-direction consistently reported better quality of life, higher levels of life satisfaction, and reduced unmet disability-related needs (Carlson, Foster, Dale, & Brown, 2007).…”

“…Like the Cash and Counseling Program model [13], VD-HCBS provides Veterans with a monthly allotment based on an assessment of the extent of their need for assistance with personal care because of injury or the effect of disease. Veterans have the opportunity to spend their allotment on services that best meet their needs, such as personal care workers whom they hire and manage themselves, thus maximizing the concept of patientcentered care.…”

Abstract-Veteran-Directed Home and Community-Based Services (VD-HCBS) is a consumer-directed program that began in 2009 and is jointly administered in a partnership between the Veterans Health Administration and the Administration for Community Living. The objective of this article is to describe the Aging and Disability Network agency (ADNA) personnel's perceptions of the implementation of the VD-HCBS program with partner Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers (VAMCs). Qualitative interviews with 26 ADNA VD-HCBS personnel across the country were transcribed, coded, and analyzed. Results suggest that the majority of ADNA personnel interviewed perceive the collaboration experience to be positive. Interviewees reported several key mechanisms for facilitating a successful partnership, including frequent communication, training in VAMC billing procedures, having a designated VAMC staff person for the program, and active involvement of the VAMC from the onset of VD-HCBS program development. Findings have implications for other interagency partnerships formed to deliver services to vulnerable Veterans.

(For further information about the CCDE study design, see Doty, Mahoney, & Simon-Rusinowitz, 2007.) The overall positive CCDE results led to a 12-state replication project.…”

This paper addresses four family policy questions that policy makers often ask about consumer-directed services, examining issues such as quality, suitability, and fraud and abuse. Responses to these questions evolved from the experiences of diverse elder consumers and their caregivers who participated in IndependentChoices, the Arkansas site of the Cash and Counseling Demonstration and Evaluation (CCDE) program. Building on CCDE evaluation survey data, this analysis of in-home interviews with participants discussing their experiences of receiving, giving, and managing care demonstrates how the program allows consumers choices so they receive the services they want. At the same time, program flexibility allows policy makers to safeguard both consumers and program resources through the use of supports such as representatives, state consultants, and fiscal intermediaries. This article demonstrates how the Cash and Counseling model can address the needs of both consumers with diverse disabilities and policy makers.
