Frequently Asked Questions

CDPAP home care is a Medicaid-funded program in New York state. It provides personal care services to people who need hands-on help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and eating, as well as home activities like cooking and cleaning.
Caregivers in New York are paid by Medicaid through the state-wide single fiscal intermediary, PPL. This means the person who receives care does not pay the caregiver out of their own pocket.
Caregivers do not have to get a certificate or license to work in CDPAP. There are some employee trainings caregivers will need to complete, but those are trainings the caregiver is paid for.
Caregivers must be at least 18 years old to qualify for the program.
No. Medicare alone does not meet the state’s requirements for this program. You must have Medicaid and meet other state rules to qualify. If you have questions about your coverage, our team can help you review your options.
Medicare is a federal program for people who are 65 or older or have certain disabilities. Medicaid is for people with low incomes and is run by both the state and federal government, so rules can vary by state.
