Task Worksheet: Direct Care Services Calculator
The Community First Choice (CFC) Direct Care Services Calculator is used as the tool to establish direct care service needs within agency-based care settings, In-Home Support Services (IHSS), and Consumer-Directed Attendant Support Services (CDASS).
Task Worksheets used by CDASS and IHSS were modified to be used for all CFC Personal Care and Homemaker Services, including CDASS, IHSS, and Agency-based service delivery options. The Task Worksheets are also utilized for children and youth.
