( Consumer Directed Personnal Assistance Program )

CDPAP New York

There's nothing like receiving care from individuals who actually care about you.

It might be really tough to find an appropriate caregiver in New York. We understand how difficult it is to locate someone who can assist you with your everyday requirements while also allowing you to maintain your independence. That’s why CDPAP, a Medicaid program in New York, is a good option if you want to hire a relative or friend to care for you.

We’ve all experienced times when we required assistance from family members but didn’t want to burden them with being our full-time caregiver. CDPAP allows you to choose a family member or friend to be your caregiver while they continue to work and earn money while also getting Medicaid supplemental income. You’ll both gain from this arrangement: they’ll receive payment for their support, and you’ll get the help you need without adding to their workload.

Home Care Connect is here to assist you with the CDPAP application and navigation.

We can help you with everything from completing the paperwork to locating the best caregiver for you. Our team is dedicated to giving you peace of mind by providing the care you require, when you require it, so that you can remain at home in comfort.

All About CDPAP New York

New York State's CDPAP, or Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program, is a Medicaid program for chronically ill and disabled persons. Under the said program, customers can choose their own caretaker, who can be a friend or relative. 

The following are the requirements for CDPAP New York eligibility:

      - Must be a New York resident

      - Medicaid recipient in New York

     - Self-directed; if not, a representative should be appointed

     - Should have a stable medical condition, which means it is unlikely to deteriorate or improve suddenly and should not necessitate regular medical or nursing examination or judgment to determine modifications in the consumer's plan of care

    - Must be eligible for long-term care and services from a licensed home health business, as well as a long-term home health care program

   - Require partial or complete assistance with one or more personal care, home health aide, or skilled nursing task

   - Friends and family members can help look after their loved ones.

   - Consumer autonomy and empowerment

   - Flexibility in scheduling and dictating the care plan.

   - Personal assistants are not needed to complete any type of official training.

The CDPAP program allows you to hire nearly anyone, except for a "legally responsible adult" such as a spouse or parent of a disabled person under the age of 21. Adult children can be recruited to look after their parents as they age. Depending on the amount and type of care necessary, there may be certain restrictions on whether or not the parent can reside with the client. Work authorization is necessary if the caregiver is an immigrant.

Because the CDPAP Aide will be educated by the consumer or representative, no license or certification is required.
