Questions Asked By Others

Receiving CDPAP Care
(Patients)

What is CDPAP (Consumer Directed Personal Assistant Program)?

CDPAP – or Consumer-Directed Personal Assistance Program, is a New York State Medicaid program which allows consumers to choose their own caregivers. If you’re eligible, you can choose almost anyone you want to care for you – and they’ll get paid for it. Friends & Family Home Care Services is a top provider of CDPAP in New York State!

What is CDPAS (Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Services)?

CDPAS – or Consumer-Directed Personal Assistance Services, are home care services offered within a program such as personal home care, assistance with activities of daily living, and the companionship provided throughout the course of the day. While CDPAP and CDPAS may cause confusion for some, they are in essence one in the same — one refers to the program itself and the other to the particular services offered within the program.

Am I eligible to receive care through CDPAP?

If you have Medicaid and need help with activities of daily living — like shopping, cleaning, bathing, and grooming — there’s a good chance you’re eligible.

Do I need to have Medicaid to enroll in CDPAP?

Yes. If you don’t have Medicaid, but think you may be eligible, call us for help enrolling in Medicaid.

Does Medicaid cover everything, or do I need to pay anything?

CDPAP is fully covered by Medicaid.

What if I don’t have Medicaid?

If you don’t have Medicaid, you may be eligible for Medicaid, contact us so we can assist you.

How many hours of home care will I get?

The number of home care hours approved by the Health Plan is determined by your needed level of care.

How do I apply to receive CDPAP benefits?

Fill out the eligibility form on our website or call us now!

Can I hire my spouse to be my CDPAP personal assistant?

No. Your legal spouse cannot be your CDPAP personal assistant.

Giving CDPAP Care
(Caregivers/Personal Assistants)

Am I eligible to give care through CDPAP?

Yes, as long as you are 18 years or older and authorized to work in the U.S.!

Do I need a certification or license to be a CDPAP personal assistant?

No! CDPAP caregivers do not need a license or certificate.

How do I apply to be a CDPAP personal assistant for my friend or family member?

Fill out the eligibility form on our website or call us now!

How much will I get paid?

Caregivers earn $21.09/hour, which includes a great benefits package!

How many hours can I work?

Weekly hours are dependent on the patient’s needed level of care, which are assigned after nurse assessments by the patient’s Health Plan.

Can I get overtime?

In many cases, yes. Please give us a call for more information.

Do I get other benefits?

Yes. All caregivers receive a benefits package! Call us to learn more.

Can I care for more than one person at a time?

Yes. For example, CDPAP caregivers can care for Mom and Dad at the same time.

Is my friend or family member eligible for this program?

To qualify for CDPAP, the person you’re caregiving for must:

Have Medicaid (If you don’t have Medicaid, we can help you obtain it)
Live in New York
Need help with day-to-day activities

Who can be hired as a caregiver?

If you are the son, daughter, relative, or friend of the person needing care, you can be hired. A legal spouse, a parent caring for a child under 21, or a designated representative cannot be hired as a caregiver.

Where are Friends & Family Home Care CDPAP services available?

We provide services across New York state including Albany, Bronx, Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Columbia, Dutchess, Erie, Fulton, Greene, Herkimer, Brooklyn, Monroe, Montgomery, Nassau, New York, Niagara, Oneida, Ontario, Orange, Oswego, Putnam, Queens, Staten Island, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Seneca, Suffolk, and Westchester.

How much will my caregiver get paid?

Payment + benefits depend on the patient’s location and insurance plan. Please call us at 1 (866) 284-3236 to find out your exact rates.

How many hours can my caregiver work?

This depends on two things:

How many hours are approved by your insurance plan.
How many hours you want your caregiver to work.

All work hours are subject to appropriate labor regulations and policies.

How often do caregivers get paid?

Your caregiver gets paid weekly!

Can I care for more than one patient at a time?

Yes, but you’ll need to split the hours. For example, if Dad qualifies for 17 hours per week and Mom qualifies for 20 hours per week, you can work in the home for 37 hours and be paid for 37 hours. The hours will be split: you cannot be on the clock for both Mom and Dad at the same time.

If I care for both my parents at the same time, do I get paid double?

No. You can add their hours together, but you cannot be paid double.

Can I get paid for taking care of my spouse?

No. You cannot get paid for taking care of your spouse if you are legally married.
