Maryland SDS Changes?

 You don’t lose the freedom you love about SDS — you still choose who works with your loved one, set the schedule that works for your family, and decide how care happens day-to-day. We’re not here to replace your decisions — we handle the admin behind the scenes so you stay in charge without the paperwork burden.

 You decide who provides care — so you don’t have strangers in and out of your home. Whether it’s a parent, sibling, neighbor, or someone you already know, we handle the hiring, background checks, and “extraordinary care” paperwork so you can keep care familiar and safe, not just whoever an agency sends.

Under the new rules, many families/caregivers risk losing income when they self-direct — we fix that. By hiring your family caregiver through us, we pass through up to 75% of the funding directly to your family, not to corporate overhead, so your trusted caregiver earns a livable wage, which is significantly higher than 15% over the published rate.

No more tracking every shift, fixing late timesheets, or worrying if your caregiver clocks in right for EVV. We handle all the paperwork, payroll taxes, onboarding, annual training, and required state documentation — so you don’t risk surprise audits, missing paychecks, or mistakes that could freeze your funding. We stay up to date on DDA rules, so you don’t have to.
