1.⁠ ⁠Choice and Control
You or your loved one can choose who provides the services, such as a trusted family member, friend, or someone from your community—someone who understands your needs and builds genuine rapport.

2.⁠ ⁠Personalized Support
CDS allows you to customize services like check-ins and task reminders to match your routine and preferences, rather than a one-size-fits-all agency schedule.

3.⁠ ⁠Flexibility in Scheduling
You set the schedule. Whether it’s morning medication reminders or afternoon companionship calls, you decide the best time and frequency for care.

4.⁠ ⁠Continuity and Trust
Having the same familiar person consistently provide care builds trust and reduces stress, especially for older adults or individuals with memory challenges.

5.⁠ ⁠Empowerment and Independence
CDS encourages independence by putting the power in your hands to manage care, while still receiving guidance and support from a Financial Management Services Agency (FMSA).

6.⁠ ⁠Partnership with a Trusted Community Organization
HaT Foundation is already embedded in the community and focused on personalized care. By combining HaT’s mission-driven services with the CDS model, you get professional support with a compassionate, community-based approach.
