A Consumer Direct Care Network Alternative

Consumer Direct Care Network (CDCN) is a fiscal agent for consumer-directed services. Godaelli takes a different route to the same result: we hire your family member ourselves.

If you are working with or considering Consumer Direct Care Network, you are looking at consumer-directed services — you are the employer of record, and CDCN processes payroll on your behalf. Godaelli offers a different path to the same goal: agency-directed care from a local Northern Virginia agency.

With us, the family member you name is hired onto our staff. They get a paycheck, training, and support, and you never file employment paperwork, chase timesheets, or scramble for coverage when they are sick.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Godaelli a good alternative to Consumer Direct Care Network?

It depends on how much you want to manage. CDCN supports consumer-directed services, where you act as the employer. Godaelli is a licensed home care agency: we employ the caregiver — including your relative — so payroll, training, supervision, and backup coverage are ours to handle, not yours.

Can a family member be the paid caregiver?

Yes. Name the relative or trusted friend you want, and if they qualify we hire them onto our staff. The hours are funded by Virginia Medicaid at no cost to your family.

The Agency Advantage

Why Families Choose Agency-Directed Care

Your family member can still be the paid caregiver — we just carry the parts nobody wants to carry.

We employ the caregiver

Payroll, taxes, and workers' comp are ours. You are never the employer.

Your relative still gets paid

Name who you want providing care and we hire them onto our staff.

Coverage never lapses

If your caregiver is sick, we send a trained backup — not a scramble.
