HomeTeam proudly provides Farmington home care designed to support seniors, adults with disabilities and individuals recovering from illness while allowing them to remain safely in the place they know and love. In a community like Farmington, where neighbors look out for each other and families often live close together, aging in place is not only practical, but also deeply valued. Our family-owned approach to personalized CDS home care ensures every client receives support tailored to their needs, routines and goals.
Instead of adapting to rotating caregivers, you choose someone you already trust, giving you comfort, continuity and a sense of control. HomeTeam’s mission is to make independent living possible by offering respectful daily assistance and compassionate guidance throughout your care journey.
Consumer Directed Services (CDS) is a Missouri Medicaid program that empowers you to select, schedule and direct your own caregiver. Rather than relying on an agency to send staff, CDS allows you to hire a family member or friend. This can mean someone familiar with your personality, habits and home environment.
With CDS, you stay in control of how your support is delivered each day. Caregivers assist with tasks such as meal preparation, bathing, mobility, transportation, housekeeping and other forms of personal care that help you remain safe at home.
HomeTeam guides Farmington families through every step of CDS enrollment, including completing paperwork, scheduling assessments and onboarding caregivers. We make sure the process is simple and stress-free, explaining program requirements clearly and helping you understand what to expect.
From the first phone call through activation and ongoing support, HomeTeam ensures you feel informed and supported. This combination of independence and guidance makes CDS an ideal solution for many in the Farmington area who want reliable help without giving up control of their daily life.
Shopping and errands services include picking up groceries, prescription medications, household supplies or personal items, helping you stay stocked and organized without leaving home unnecessarily.
Light housekeeping provides support with sweeping, dusting, laundry, dishwashing, changing linens and maintaining clean, safe living areas so your home feels comfortable and manageable each day.
Medication reminders help you stay consistent with your prescribed schedule and avoid missed doses. Caregivers provide gentle prompting and ensure medication is taken at the right time, offering peace of mind to both clients and families.
Transportation services include rides to appointments, community events, therapy visits and essential outings. Whether you need a trip to the doctor, physical therapy or simply wish to connect with friends, transportation assistance promotes independence and social engagement.
Meal preparation includes planning, cooking, portioning and serving meals that suit your dietary needs and preferences. Caregivers can help with hydration reminders, safe use of kitchen tools and clean-up afterward. This service ensures you or your loved one has access to nutritious meals even when cooking becomes tiring or physically difficult.
Gardening assistance may involve watering plants, light yard maintenance, clearing walkways or tending to small garden areas. This allows individuals to enjoy outdoor spaces without strain.
Personal care is essential for well-being and dignity, and caregivers are trained to help individuals feel comfortable throughout the process. Bathing and personal care is provided with sensitivity and safety. This includes assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting and hygiene routines without judgment.
Daily assistance looks different for every person, which is why HomeTeam takes time to understand your preferences and needs before creating a care plan. Our services offer a comprehensive foundation for living independently at home, prioritizing safety, comfort and a sense of confidence every day.

To ensure safe and high-quality care, HomeTeam provides RN oversight and ongoing coordination. A registered nurse evaluates your needs, reviews your goals and helps develop a personalized care plan. They also monitor changes in your condition, updating care instructions accordingly and ensuring services are delivered safely. This extra layer of clinical support gives families reassurance that care is being delivered with expertise and attention to detail.
Your dedicated care coordinator serves as your direct contact for scheduling, questions, documentation help and problem-solving. They check in regularly with clients and caregivers, making sure routines are working smoothly. Coordinators also advocate for your needs in order to answer questions about the CDS program and help you access additional resources when needed.
With experienced caregivers, RN oversight and ongoing communication, HomeTeam creates a well-rounded support system that adapts as your needs evolve.

Starting CDS with HomeTeam is a simple, guided process.
First, we help determine whether you meet Missouri’s eligibility requirements, which include having Missouri Medicaid and needing assistance with daily living tasks. If you qualify, the next step is completing an assessment where the state evaluates the level of care you require. HomeTeam helps schedule this assessment and prepares you for what to expect.
After approval, you select your caregiver. This could be a trusted family member or friend. We then handle onboarding, training, paperwork, payroll setup and ongoing support. HomeTeam walks caregivers through timesheets, documentation requirements and safe care practices so they feel confident in their role. We also help with scheduling, care plan development and program compliance.
Throughout the process, our team is available to answer questions and clarify expectations, providing resources that make CDS easier for both clients and caregivers. By breaking down each step and offering hands-on support, HomeTeam ensures Farmington residents begin CDS with clarity and confidence.
