Friends and Family Can Earn Money For The Care They're Already Providing
How?
NY Residents who care for their loved one can receive wages and benefits thanks to a program called Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP).
The Program
CDPAP is a New York State Medicaid program that not only allows people to get help with daily activities and medical conditions, but also to choose and pay their own caregiver. Caregivers under this program are not required to have any license or certification.
The Process
To be covered by the CDPAP program, patients need to have a social and nursing assessment initiated by their doctor. After that, a nurse assessor determines whether they can appropriately participate in CDPAP, and if so, recommends the amount, frequency and duration of services.
Pay & Benefits
Caregivers paid through Ultimate Care get competitive pay and bonuses, overtime pay, essential coverage health plan (FREE for individuals) with optional low-cost vision and dental insurance, paid vacation, sick time and holidays, and 401(k) with company match, Employee Discount Program (Tickets at work), FREE T-Mobile cell phone (min 30 hours per week to qualify), Employee Assistance Program, Wage Parity Benefits.
Eligibility
Must meet all this criteria: be eligible for Medicaid, have a stable medical condition, need some or total assistance with one or more personal care services, home health aide services, or skilled nursing task. They or the person acting on behalf of them must also be willing to make informed decisions with regards to their care.
Non-Eligibility
Are Not Eligible: Legal spouses, parents caring for a child under 21, power of attorney, and healthcare proxy.

Is Home Care Safe During Covid-19?
At Citadel Home Care, the health and safety of our clients is our top priority. In light of COVID-19, it is our goal to provide peace of mind about the measures we are taking to prevent the spread of the virus and protect our patients in these uncertain times.
Our team has implemented a reporting policy to ensure that all caregivers are able to identify risk factors and prevent the spread of the virus between patients. Our office staff has also been trained to identify caregivers who are at risk and will not send them to work.
While providing caregivers with additional supplies, we have also implemented additional hand washing procedures. Each caregiver is required to wash their hands prior to entering a patient’s home as well as once per hour while providing care for the patient.
For patients who would like to reduce the number of caregiver visits to their home, live-in care is an excellent alternative.
Live-in caregivers remain at the patient's home to reduce contact with others and provide all necessary care. Live-in care services provide the benefits of reducing risk for accidents at home, decreased chances of illness or injury, and increased socialization.
Citadel Home Care is here to help you and your loved ones. If you have any questions about our policies, don’t hesitate to reach out.
What About the Cost?
- Most falls happen at home, resulting in expensive hospital visits. Home care can reduce falls significantly, preventing costly hospital bills.
- Food and medication reminders can prevent decline, also preventing extra health-related costs (not to mention, missing food or meds is awful!)
- Regular evaluation of needs – we make sure you’re only paying for the level of care you need.

Here's How It Works
Getting your family or friend paid to care for you is easy:
Step 1
We determine if you're eligible for CDPAP and how many weekly hours of care you can get.
Step 2
You choose a caregiver: your daughter, son, relative, or friend (anyone except your spouse), and we enroll you.
Step 3
You get ongoing care from a person who loves you and they get compensated for their care!
From here, we continually monitor everything to ensure you that you and your caregiver are completely taken care of and satisfied.
