What we do

A focused set of services, delivered well.

CDCC intentionally limits its scope of services. That lets our team concentrate resources, oversight, and attention on the services we know and the people receiving them. Our goal is not to offer the longest list of programs. It is to provide dependable care, clear communication, and consistent follow-through.

01 / SERVICE

Live-In Personal Supports

CDCC provides Personal Supports exclusively through a live-in staffing model. Staff live and work in the home during their assigned rotation, providing support where daily life actually happens.

APD service definition

Personal Supports provides assistance and training with activities of daily living such as eating, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and meal preparation. The service may also include non-medical care, supervision, socialization, community access, and other authorized supports identified in the individual's support plan.

How CDCC delivers it

CDCC provides Personal Supports through a 24-hour live-in staffing model using a 7-on/7-off rotation designed to promote continuity, familiarity, and fewer daily staff transitions.

  • Seven days on, seven days off staffing
  • Daily living assistance and community participation
  • Fewer routine staff handoffs than short-shift models
  • Support aligned with authorized APD waiver needs

Companion (Life Skills Development Level 1)

CDCC provides Companion services only for individuals living in their own supported-living homes where CDCC provides 24-hour live-in staffing. Companion support is used to strengthen community involvement, social connection, and access to everyday community resources in ways that relate directly to the person’s support-plan goals.

APD service definition

Life Skills Development Level 1 – Companion provides non-medical care, supervision, and socialization for adults age 21 and older. The service is tied to goals in the individual’s support plan and may include support for access to community-based activities and resources when authorized.

  • Available only where CDCC provides 24-hour live-in staffing
  • Community access and participation
  • Socialization and non-medical supervision
  • Support connected to individual goals

Our scope is intentional: CDCC provides live-in Personal Supports. Supported Living Coaching and Companion are offered only to individuals living in their own supported-living homes where CDCC provides 24-hour live-in staffing. Services remain subject to individual need, authorization, and availability.

Our staffing model

Live-in care, by design.

For Personal Supports, CDCC does not use a patchwork of short daily shifts. Our model is built around live-in staff who work a seven-day rotation, followed by seven days off.

That structure is intentional. It gives the person receiving services a smaller, more consistent group of caregivers, creates longer stretches of continuity in the home, and gives staff time to understand routines, preferences, appointments, household responsibilities, and the details that matter from one day to the next.

At the end of each seven-day rotation, responsibility transfers to the next live-in staff member. The goal is a clear handoff and a stable rhythm of support—not a revolving door of unfamiliar people throughout the day.

A deliberate investment

We invest in continuity.

CDCC has deliberately chosen a live-in staffing model that costs more to operate because continuity matters.

Many of our staff stay with us for years, creating familiarity, stability, and stronger day-to-day relationships in the home.

Inside the model

What 24-hour live-in support looks like.

Our live-in model is built around the ordinary parts of a person’s day. Support happens in the home and community, with staff who have time to know the routines, responsibilities, preferences, and goals that make each household work.

01

Daily routines

Support begins with the person’s normal rhythm—getting ready for the day, personal care, household routines, and the activities that are part of everyday life.

02

Meals & the household

Live-in staff are present for the practical work of home life, including meal preparation and authorized household responsibilities, while encouraging participation and independence whenever appropriate.

03

Appointments & follow-through

Medical appointments, scheduled services, transportation needs, and follow-up tasks are part of the week—not isolated events handed from one short shift to another.

04

Life in the community

Support extends beyond the front door. Community activities, shopping, recreation, social opportunities, and other authorized goals can be incorporated into the person’s regular routine.

05

Consistency over time

A seven-day rotation gives staff time to understand patterns, preferences, changes, and the small details that can be missed when many different people cycle through a home each day.

06

A deliberate handoff

At the end of the rotation, the incoming live-in staff member receives the information needed to continue the week: appointments, household matters, changes, priorities, and anything requiring follow-through.

One home. A consistent rhythm. A focused team.

CDCC’s model is designed to make support part of everyday life rather than a series of disconnected shifts. Supported Living Coaching and Companion services, when authorized, are provided only for individuals living in their own supported-living homes where CDCC provides 24-hour live-in staffing, so those services remain connected to the same day-to-day environment.

About overnight support: “24-hour live-in” describes CDCC’s live-in staffing model. The level of overnight supervision, including whether awake staffing is required, depends on the individual’s assessed needs, support plan, and authorization.

Why families and coordinators choose CDCC

A smaller service model with more attention on the home.

CDCC is intentionally structured around a narrow group of services and a live-in staffing model. That focus allows us to put more attention into the things families and support coordinators notice most: who is in the home, whether information is carried forward, and whether important details actually get handled.

01

Fewer handoffs

Seven-day live-in rotations reduce the number of routine staff changes and give caregivers time to understand the household beyond a single shift.

02

Staff who stay

Many CDCC staff remain with us for years, helping create familiarity, stability, and stronger day-to-day relationships in the home.

03

Focused services

We do not try to be every type of provider. Our limited scope keeps management attention and resources concentrated on the services we actually deliver.

04

Follow-through

Appointments, household needs, service-plan goals, and changes in routine receive attention over the course of the week instead of being repeatedly handed to someone new.

Why CDCC

We would rather do fewer things exceptionally well.

Large service menus can look impressive. They can also divide attention. CDCC has chosen a different approach.

We concentrate on live-in Personal Supports and, for individuals living in their own supported-living homes where CDCC provides 24-hour live-in staffing, Supported Living Coaching and Life Skills Development Level 1 – Companion. These services are provided for individuals receiving services through Florida APD programs, including the iBudget Medicaid Waiver. We limit our scope so our energy stays where it matters: staffing, communication, oversight, service-plan follow-through, and the day-to-day details that determine whether care actually works.

How we work

Good care is built in the details.

People do better when support is consistent, communication is clear, and the people providing care understand what matters. Our approach is simple by design.

1. Listen firstUnderstand the person’s priorities, routines, preferences, and authorized support needs.
2. Build around daily lifeConnect service-plan goals with practical support in the places where life happens.
3. Follow throughStay attentive, communicate clearly, and address changes instead of letting details fall through the cracks.
Is CDCC the right fit?

Our model is designed for a specific kind of support.

CDCC may be a good fit when an individual needs an APD-authorized 24-hour live-in arrangement and benefits from consistent caregivers, a stable household routine, and support that carries across the full week.

Because our model is intentionally focused, we are not structured as a general hourly staffing agency. We review each referral to determine whether the person’s needs, authorization, home setting, and support plan align with the way CDCC provides services.

Starting a referral

A straightforward first conversation.

Families, guardians, and support coordinators can contact CDCC to discuss the individual, current living arrangement, authorized services, and what kind of live-in support is needed. From there, we determine whether our model appears to be an appropriate fit and identify the next steps.

1

Contact CDCC

Call or send us a message with basic information about the individual and the services being considered.

2

Review needs & authorization

We discuss the support plan, current APD/iBudget authorization, household needs, and the live-in setting.

3

Determine fit

We consider whether CDCC’s focused 24-hour live-in model matches the person’s needs and the services authorized.

4

Plan next steps

If the model is a fit and capacity is available, we work with the people involved to plan the transition or start of services.

Careers at CDCC

Work with purpose.

CDCC focuses on individuals whose needs align with our live-in service model, and we are equally intentional about the staff we hire.

Our live-in model requires reliability, maturity, consistency, sound judgment, and a genuine commitment to the people supported in the home. This is not short-shift work. Live-in staff become part of a stable household rhythm and are expected to know the people they support, understand their routines, follow through on responsibilities, and communicate clearly.

For the right person, the model offers something different: the opportunity to build meaningful long-term relationships, work with greater continuity, and become part of a focused support environment. Many of our staff remain with CDCC for years.
