Find and Keep the Right Caregivers
Get expert help to build a reliable, long-term care team that actually shows up.
You've been searching for real help.
You’ve been looking everywhere for someone who can actually help: a caregiver, a DSP, a CLS worker, a PDS employee—it doesn’t matter what you call them.
👉 You just need reliable help. Someone who shows up, does a good job, and stays.
But here’s what keeps happening:
❌ You’ve posted on job boards and Facebook groups—and heard nothing back.
❌ You’ve found someone—but they quit after a week.
❌ You’re stuck in the paperwork, and nothing is moving forward.
❌ You’re told to “just switch to an agency,” even though self-direction offers more freedom and control.
It feels impossible—but it shouldn’t be.
The truth?
Finding and keeping reliable caregivers is the #1 challenge families face—whether you’re hiring through Medicaid waiver programs like Participant-Directed Services (PDS) or paying out of pocket.
And too often, you’re left to figure it out on your own.
Hiring help shouldn’t feel impossible.

Why hiring is so hard...
Kentucky’s Participant-Directed Services (PDS) allow families to hire and manage their own caregivers. But let’s be honest:
🌀 The paperwork is confusing.
🌀 The process is overwhelming.
🌀 And no one trains you to actually be an employer.
The system tells you to "find someone you trust"—but gives you zero tools to make it happen.
You shouldn’t need HR experience to hire a caregiver.

Overwhelmed?
You’re navigating a broken, underfunded system that expects families to create full-time support networks without a roadmap.
Here’s what you’re up against:
You’re navigating a patchwork system with minimal support:
🎯 You’re told PDS gives you freedom—but no roadmap to actually hire staff.
📝 The paperwork and onboarding process are slow, confusing, and full of roadblocks.
💬 You’re constantly asking: "Where do I even find good people?"
⚠️ When you do find someone, keeping them feels just as hard.
😣 You’re juggling it all: posting jobs, scheduling, training—and feeling like you’re always one step away from disaster.
You are not failing. The system is failing you.
You’re not doing it wrong—you’ve just been doing it alone.

Step-by-step guidance, without the burnout—so you can hire with clarity and confidence.
What exactly is this program?
This is a done-with-you caregiver hiring and retention support program for families of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)—including autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and more—who are using Participant-Directed Services (PDS), self-direction, or hiring caregivers by paying out of pocket (private pay, cash pay).

I'm already overwhelmed. How much time will this take?

The goal is to lighten your load—while making real progress toward building a solid, sustainable care team.
How is this different from other resources that haven't helped me in the past?
Most free services or online advice stop at basic checklists or generic “just post on Indeed” tips.
This program:
- Goes deep: We don’t just tell you what to do—we walk through it with you, step by step.
- Solves real problems: From Medicaid waiver complexities to managing no-shows, we tackle the hard stuff other resources skip.
- Tailored to you: Your situation is unique, and your caregiver recruitment plan will be too—no one-size-fits-all advice here.
- Focuses on sustainability: We help you build a system that keeps working long after your first hire.
I don't know where to begin.
That’s exactly why this program exists. 😊 Whether you’ve never hired before or are deep in the trenches of caregiver burnout, we’ll meet you where you are.
We’ll prioritize what matters most and build clear, manageable next steps—no shame, no overwhelm.
What does this program cost?
Each family’s situation is unique, and we tailor the approach accordingly. Payment options include:
✅ Self-pay (credit, debit, check)
✅ Special Needs Trusts
✅ STABLE Accounts
✅ Crowdfunding / estate planning funds
✅ Hart Supported Living Grant (KY)
Flexible payment plans are available, and limited sliding-scale spots may be offered. Let’s connect and talk through your situation.
Is this program covered by a Medicaid Waiver?
Not at this time.
While Medicaid waivers (like Michelle P. HCB, and the SCL waiver) fund caregiver wages and services, they typically don’t cover consulting, mentoring, or caregiver recruitment coaching.
This program fills the gap by offering the personalized, practical support that public systems don't provide—so you can get the right team in place faster and with less stress.
If you have the SCL waiver and are looking for waiver funded support with recruiting, learn more here.
What if my loved one has unique or complex needs?
Samantha works with a wide variety of people with disabilities, including:
✅ Autism spectrum disorder
✅ Down syndrome
✅ Cerebral palsy
✅ Fragile X
✅ Williams syndrome
✅ Angelman syndrome
✅ Intellectual disability of varying degrees
✅ ADHD, sensory processing, communication disorders
✅ Complex or aggressive behaviors
✅ High medical needs and rare genetic syndromes
✅ Blind, deaf, hard of hearing
✅ Other disabilities
Samantha specializes in helping families navigate complicated care situations—especially when behavior, medical care, or staffing have been hard to manage in the past.
Is it too early to start?

Can this program help me access the Supports for Community Living (SCL), Michelle P., or HCB waiver programs?
Yes! This program is designed to help families navigate Kentucky’s Medicaid waivers, including:
✅ Supports for Community Living (SCL) Waiver
✅ Michelle P. Waiver
✅ Home and Community-Based (HCB) Waiver
All of these waiver programs have long waiting lists, and the application process can feel confusing and overwhelming. This program offers:
🔹 Hands-on help with the application process: Guidance to make sure paperwork is completed correctly and nothing gets missed
🔹 Support figuring out services you can access in the meantime: Creative strategies and local resources to help bridge the gap while waiting
🔹 Emergency waiver access guidance (SCL only): If your loved one is experiencing an urgent situation—like loss of a caregiver, serious health or safety risks, or imminent institutionalization—we can help you understand Kentucky’s emergency SCL process.
➡️ Important: Emergency waiver slots are only available for people who meet strict state criteria. Approval is not guaranteed, but we can help you gather documentation, prepare the strongest possible request, and build backup supports to keep your loved one safe.
This program ensures you’re not left to navigate Kentucky’s disability services system alone—and helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Why haven't I heard of a program like this before? It seems like so many families need it.
Most systems assume you’ll “figure out” how to hire caregivers on your own—but no one teaches families how to actually do it.
This program was created after watching too many families struggle, burn out, and give up when trying to use self-direction or hire privately. It’s designed to fill the gap—so you have real, reliable help every step of the way.
Is Samantha a Case Manager?
No—Samantha is not a case manager.
She’s a disability consultant with over 12 years of experience helping families navigate Kentucky’s Medicaid waiver system, hire caregivers through Participant-Directed Services (PDS), and build long-term care solutions that actually work.
She created this support system because case managers are already doing everything they can in a system that’s stretched too thin.
In Kentucky, families are facing impossible challenges:
- Long waitlists
- Confusing waiver rules
- Little to no guidance on how to actually use approved services
- Limited support when it comes to things like hiring caregivers, navigating self-direction (PDS), or planning for long-term care
Case managers play a vital role—but even the best ones can’t provide the in-depth, personalized support that many families need to feel confident and prepared.
That’s why Samantha developed a hands-on, done-with-you approach: to fill the education, advocacy, and implementation gaps families are struggling with.
This service exists because families deserve more than a system of referrals and 1-800 numbers.
You deserve answers, clarity, and a trusted partner who can help you actually move forward—without waitlists, red tape, or starting from scratch.
