Consumer Direct Care Network Washington

Consumer Direct Care Network Washington (CDWA) thanks the thousands of dedicated Individual Providers (IP) who completed the hiring process to continue to provide in-home personal care and respite services. We know some who need assistance are waiting to be helped. We are working as quickly and efficiently as possible to respond to customer service inquiries.

CDWA is Washington’s Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) Consumer Directed Employer (CDE). CDWA is a partnership between Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. and the Home Care Workers Purpose Trust (Trust). The trust promotes good working conditions, economic security for workers, and worker voice and influence in the home care industry.
