CDPAP provides consumers with control over their care, allowing them to choose someone they trust to assist with their daily needs. It also allows caregivers to be compensated for their services, creating a mutually beneficial arrangement. 

CDPAP caregivers can assist with a wide range of tasks, including personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming), household chores (cleaning, cooking, shopping), and medical-related activities (medication management, wound care, injections). The tasks performed are directed by the consumer based on their individual needs.
