You're not alone

Caring for someone with Dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) disease is demanding.

Caring for a loved one with Dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), or significant memory loss presents unique and demanding challenges. Standard home care hour allocations often fall short of providing the necessary supervision and support required for their safety and well-being.

At BenefitsNYC, we understand these complexities deeply. We specialize in helping families in Brooklyn and across NYC navigate the system to secure enhanced home care hours, including specialized structures like split-shift care, ensuring your loved one receives the appropriate level of support they need and deserve.

Why Standard Hours Often Aren't Enough?

Specialized Care Needs for Cognitive and Mobility Challenges

Individuals experiencing cognitive decline (common in Alzheimer’s, various Dementias, and later-stage Parkinson’s), significant mobility issues (common in Parkinson’s) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) often require more than basic assistance. Increased or specialized care structures are frequently necessary due to:

  • Safety Concerns: Risks associated with wandering, falls, sundowning, freezing (in Parkinson's), or unsafe behavior.
  • Constant Supervision: The need for monitoring throughout the day and often through the night due to cognitive impairment or mobility limitations.
  • Personal Care Needs: Increased assistance required for bathing, dressing, feeding, toileting, and transfers.
  • Medication Management: Complex medication schedules requiring careful oversight.
  • Caregiver Support: Providing respite and manageable schedules for family caregivers.
Please note that specific coverage details can vary.

How it WORKS

Our Advocacy for Enhanced Dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and TBI Care

Obtaining approval for increased hours or specialized care like split shifts requires strong medical justification and expert advocacy with MLTC plans and assessment bodies (like NYIA). BenefitsNYC provides targeted assistance:

Step 01.

Documenting Comprehensive Needs

We work with you to thoroughly document the specific cognitive, behavioral, and functional limitations associated with Dementia, Alzheimer’s, or Parkinson’s that necessitate enhanced care.

Step 02.

Gathering Supporting Medical Evidence

We guide you in obtaining detailed supporting documentation from doctors (including neurologists or geriatric specialists) and therapists that clearly outlines the medical necessity for constant supervision or increased assistance levels.

Step 03.

Advocating for Split-Shift or 24-Hour Care Needs

Standard schedules may be inadequate for managing these conditions. We advocate for approval of structures like split-shift care (often 12 daytime / 12 nighttime hours) or continuous 24-hour care when medically justified, ensuring safety and proper support around the clock.

Step 04.

Navigating MLTC & NYIA Processes Effectively

We leverage our experience with MLTC plans and the NY Independent Assessor process to clearly present the case for increased hours based on the specific needs arising from Dementia, Alzheimer’s, or Parkinson’s.

Step 05.

Appeals Support for Complex Cases

If requests are initially denied, we provide focused guidance and support through the MLTC appeal or Fair Hearing process, emphasizing the unique evidence requirements for these conditions.
