What is NOT a responsibility of the consumer in the CDPAP program?

In the context of the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), the primary responsibilities of consumers involve actively managing their care needs, which includes hiring and training caregivers, arranging backup coverage in case of caregiver absence, and managing payroll records to compensate caregivers for their services.

However, providing mental health services is not a responsibility of the consumer. Instead, mental health services are typically delivered by qualified professionals. This ensures that consumers receive the appropriate level of care and support that meets their mental health needs, which goes beyond the scope of the consumer's role in the CDPAP framework. By delegating mental health services to professionals, the program maintains a focus on personal assistance and day-to-day care management responsibilities that the consumer is equipped to handle.
