Describes the experiences of the first clients to participate in Florida's Cash and Counseling Demonstration, the Consumer-Directed Care program. Notes that most clients are children (47 percent) and nonelderly adults (36 percent). Almost all (99 percent) of those who received the program's monthly cash benefit were satisfied with their caregivers. Eighty-eight percent said the benefit improved their quality of life; however, a third reported needing more help with meal preparation or housework.
