CDPAP Services New York Health Care, Inc. has been approved by the New York State Department of Health to provide CDPAP (Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program) services. What is CDPAP? CDPAP is a statewide Medicaid program that provides an alternative way of receiving home care services where the consumer has more control over who provides their care and how it is provided. This means that patients who are eligible to receive home care can have a family member or someone they know and trust that is trained by the consumer/family to provide services. The consumer or advocate can recruit, interview, hire, train, schedule, and dismiss personal care assistants of their choice. Consumers assess their own needs, determine how and by whom these needs should be met, and monitor the quality of services received. What are the benefits of CDPAP? Friends and family can take of their loved ones Consumer independence and empowerment Flexibility to create schedules and dictate the plan of care Personal Assistants are not required to undergo any formal training How does a person participate in CDPAP? Before a person can receive services, his or her doctor must send a completed Physician’s Order for Services to the local social services district which then completes a social and nursing assessment. A nurse assessor then determines whether the recipient can appropriately participate in CDPAP and recommends the amount, frequency and duration of services.
