What is CDPAP? Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program in Virginia
If you've searched for "CDPAP Virginia" or "consumer directed personal assistance program," you're looking for a way to get paid for caring for a family member—or to hire a trusted caregiver of your choice.
Virginia's equivalent runs through the CCC Plus Waiver program, and there are two ways to get there. Consumer-directed services make you the employer. Godaelli offers the other route — agency-directed care, where you still name the caregiver you want and we hire them onto our staff.
CDPAP Virginia = CCC Plus Waiver
While New York calls it CDPAP, Virginia's equivalent operates under the CCC Plus Waiver. The outcome families want is the same — a relative gets paid to provide the care — and with Godaelli that happens through agency-directed care, so you never take on the employer role.

Frequently Asked Questions About CDPAP & Consumer Directed Services in Virginia
How do I become a paid caregiver for a family member in Virginia?
To become a paid caregiver for a family member in Virginia, your loved one must qualify for the CCC Plus Waiver program through Virginia Medicaid. Once approved, they can name you as their caregiver. You'll need to pass a background check and complete basic training, and Godaelli hires you as an employee — we handle all paperwork, payroll, and compliance so you can focus on caregiving. The process typically takes 2-4 weeks from application to your first paycheck.
What is CDPAP Virginia? Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program Explained
CDPAP Virginia refers to consumer-directed services provided through the CCC Plus Waiver program—Virginia's version of the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program. This program allows Medicaid recipients who need help with daily activities to hire their own caregivers, including family members and friends. With CDPAP in Virginia, the consumer (care recipient) directs their own care by choosing who provides it and when services are delivered.
How much do family caregivers get paid in Virginia?
Family caregivers in Virginia can earn between $12-$15 per hour depending on the care recipient's needs and MCO (Managed Care Organization). With up to 56 hours per week approved, caregivers can earn up to $2,500 per month or more. All payments are made through Virginia Medicaid at no cost to the family.
Who qualifies for consumer-directed services in Virginia?
To qualify for consumer-directed services in Virginia, the care recipient must: 1) Be enrolled in Virginia Medicaid, 2) Need help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) like bathing, dressing, eating, or mobility, 3) Be approved for the CCC Plus Waiver program, and 4) Be able to direct their own care or have a representative who can do so on their behalf.
Can I get paid to take care of my parents in Virginia?
Yes! Virginia's CCC Plus Waiver program allows adult children to get paid for caring for their parents. If your parent qualifies for Medicaid and needs help with daily activities, you can become their designated caregiver and receive compensation. You don't need to live with your parent, and you can work a flexible schedule that fits both your needs.
What's the difference between agency-directed and consumer-directed care in Virginia?
The difference is who employs the caregiver. With agency-directed care, the agency employs and manages the caregiver — at Godaelli you still name who you want, and we hire that person, handling payroll, training, supervision, and backup coverage. With consumer-directed care, you are the employer of record: you recruit, schedule, and direct the caregiver yourself, with a fiscal agent processing payroll. A loved one can earn compensation under either model.
