Missouri's largest city, and a Missouri program
Kansas City had 508,090 residents in the 2020 Census, making it the largest city in Missouri, and about 14.3% of residents are 65 or older (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts). Many of them want to stay in their own homes. HomeTeam helps Missouri residents in Kansas City arrange care at home, including through Consumer Directed Services (CDS), which lets eligible participants choose their own caregiver while HomeTeam handles payroll and paperwork. Our Missouri CDS guide explains the basics.
The state line matters
The Kansas City area crosses the Missouri and Kansas border, and the rules change at that line. Missouri CDS is a Missouri program, so it is for people who live on the Missouri side. If you are not sure which side your address is on, call us and we will tell you before you spend time on paperwork. If you live in Kansas, we will point you toward the right place to start rather than guess.
Kansas City-area counties we serve
We help Missouri families across the Kansas City area, including Jackson, Clay, Platte and Cass counties, and nearby Ray, Lafayette and Johnson counties. See our pages for Jackson County and Lafayette County.
When the caregiver is already family
In a city this size, a lot of care is already being given by a daughter, a son or a spouse. CDS can sometimes make it possible for that family member to be the paid caregiver. Read how this works in our guide to paid family caregivers in Missouri, then call us to find out whether you qualify.
