Feeling lost trying to Navigate the Home Attendant application process?

Living independently at home is important, but sometimes daily tasks become challenging due to age, illness, or disability. If you or a loved one needs help with activities like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, or medication reminders, Home Attendant (also known as Personal Care Aide) services can provide crucial support.

However, accessing these services, especially through Medicaid, involves navigating a complex approval process. BenefitsNYC is here to guide you every step of the way.

Understanding NYC Home Attendant Services

Unlock Essential Personal Care Aide Services

What are Home Attendant / Personal Care Aide Services? Home Attendant services provide hands-on help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) right in your own home. This can include assistance with personal hygiene, mobility, light housekeeping, shopping, and more, allowing individuals to remain safely and comfortably in their community.In NYC, these services are often covered by Medicaid, typically through enrollment in a Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) plan or via the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) programs.We work with all MLTC insurances and understand the specifics of major State of Health plans popular in Brooklyn, such as Fidelis Care and Healthfirst. Our experience helps ensure you choose the right plan and receive the needed services.

How it WORKS

Our Comprehensive Support for Home Care Approval

Getting approved for the home care hours you need can feel like a daunting task. BenefitsNYC will stay with you through the whole difficult process to obtain home care services, providing expert guidance and advocacy.

Step 01.

Needs Assessment & Medicaid Eligibility

We start by understanding your specific care needs and help determine if you meet the eligibility requirements for Medicaid-funded home care. If needed, we assist with the Medicaid application itself.

Step 02.

Navigating the NY Independent Assessor (NYIA)

The assessment conducted by the NYIA program is a critical step. We will help you prepare for the interview, ensuring you understand the questions and can clearly communicate your needs to the assessor, maximizing your chances of getting approved for adequate hours.

Step 03.

MLTC Plan Selection & Enrollment

Choosing the right Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) plan can be confusing. We explain your options and assist with the enrollment process into a plan that best suits your healthcare needs and preferences.

Step 04.

OPWDD or NHTD Guidance (If Applicable)

Professional assistance and enrollment in the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) and/or Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) programs.

Step 05.

Coordination & Follow-Up

We help coordinate between your doctors, the NYIA, your chosen MLTC plan, and HRA to ensure the process moves forward smoothly and address any issues that arise.
