Using New York’s Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP)

Because caring for a loved one shouldn’t be a burden.
What is the CDPAP program and who is eligible?

The New York CDPAP program, eligible for New York residents with Medicaid under a physician’s care, gives you control and choice when it comes to selecting an in-home caretaker. You choose the caretaker and handle training, supervising, and terminating (if needed). The caretaker could be anyone — a previously hired aide, family member, friend, or neighbor — and New York will pay them as a healthcare employee.

Using CDPAP For Yourself

Whether you have a disability or you’ve simply gotten older and need help with daily living activities, or require a home health aide, personal care aide, or skilled nursing services, you have a choice in who you hire.

Seeking Care For a Loved One

Whether you intend to care for an individual yourself or hire a caregiver, an adult who is not legally responsible for the eligible individual’s care and support may be a CDPAP assistant. The caregiver will not need any kind of formal training, license or certificate to be employed. Skills that might be needed for this opportunity will be taught directly by the self-directing consumer or the consumer’s designated representative.
