A Missoula-based in-home health care company has been chosen to administer $500 million in spending by the state of Washington for overseeing providers of in-home personal care and respite.
Consumer Direct Care Network was chosen last week by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services for the contract.
“We deal in Medicaid-based home care, and how this works is essentially we are one of two awarded,” explained Ben Bledsoe, the president and CEO of Consumer Direct Care Network. “It’s a big deal for us. It puts us in a new category.”
The company employs about 325 people in its headquarters on North Reserve Street, along with about 75 caregivers around Missoula.
