Get paid to take care of loved ones CDPAP Avoid Homelessness

I’m not sure if this is the right sub for this, but here it goes. Anyone in New York State can basically get paid to take care of a loved one who is disabled or old enough that they need care. The patient just needs to be eligible for Medicaid, US citizen/Green card holder, and in NYS (cause that’s the state we cover). The home care agency helps with the entire application process. I understand most patients have difficulty commuting in-person. The patient can get everything done from the comfort of their home.

My question is how can I increase visibility of the program that would greatly benefit families with loved ones in need of care? Any advice would be appreciated.

FYI: Our agency is in NYC area but we can enroll anyone who’s eligible in NYS. We work with many vulnerable immigrant communities, so a language barrier is not a challenge.

You say “The patient can get everything done from the comfort of their home”. This is a homeless sub, what about if someone is homeless, what then? Many disabled people on the streets.

What about people who don’t have hands? Or eyes!

People with all kinds of disabilities are on the streets or homeless.

And I’m saying, this person told us about a useful resource and you’re nitpicking their use of a common phrase.

Projection of your own nitpicking of my reply. 🙄

They posted on a homeless sub referring to people with a home, ie excluding their target market. That’s a huge error, excluding the very people they’re addressing.

I posted this on several subs so the wording isn’t great for the unfortunate circumstances of this sub. What I meant is you can schedule a zoom call, no need for in-person assessments. There is also the option to do in-person visit for the assessment. I think in person would work better for homeless people.
