Are you interested in becoming a paid caregiver for your loved ones? Consider the Consumer-Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) – a program where eligible Medicaid consumers can select their own family members or friends to be paid caregivers and direct their care and schedules. The patient’s Medicaid plan fully funds this program. It is available to those who require assistance with daily living activities due to a disability or long-term health condition.
One of the many benefits of being a CDPAP caregiver is that you don’t need a license like regular home health aides from an agency. Once the patient is approved, you can start working immediately and have flexible hours, as the patient sets the schedule and directs the caregiving.
Our fully licensed home care agency pays our CDPAP caregivers weekly, with hourly rates that vary depending on the patient’s location. You can check our website for updated CDPAP pay rates. Through several assessments, Medicaid determines the number of caring hours according to the patient’s health condition.
Our agency serves all 62 counties in New York State and offers a wide range of CDPAP services. In addition, we provide free Medicaid support services for those without Medicaid who need assistance with daily activities.
If you’re interested in becoming a CDPAP caregiver, please get in touch with us for more information, or submit the CDPAP form to get started. Thank you for considering us for your caregiving needs.
