DSW

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released seven new resources focused on strengthening the DSW. The online training, Recruiting, Selecting, and Retaining Direct Service Workers to Provide Self-directed Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS), provides guidance and information for people who self-direct, or wish to self-direct, their HCBS, as well as others interested in information on finding, hiring, and retaining direct service workers. You can access all of these resources from CMS’ Direct Care Workforce page and ADvancing States' HCBS Clearinghouse.
