What is Self-Directed Support?
Care arranged around your decisions, routines and priorities
Self-Directed Support (SDS) gives you choice and control over your care and support. Instead of receiving services chosen for you, SDS puts you in the driving seat, allowing you to decide what support you need, when you need it, and who provides it.
With Self-Directed Support Options 1 and 2, you stay in control of your care. Choose McBenleo Cares as your provider, with flexibility, dignity and full choice.
