navigating cdpap opwdd and family care in nyc

Navigating home care in New York City can feel overwhelming. Whether you are searching for an agency to coordinate traditional home health aide (HHA) services, exploring the CDPAP program, or seeking specialized OPWDD care for a family member, Advantage Home Care is here to help.

What is the CDPAP Program? (¿Qué es el Programa CDPAP?)

The Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) is a New York State Medicaid program that allows individuals needing home care to hire their own caregivers—including family members and friends. Instead of being assigned a stranger, your loved one receives care from someone they already trust, and that caregiver gets paid for their time.

A Note on Location Requirements: We frequently receive questions like “¿Qué es CDPAP en México?” or inquiries about CDPAP requirements for Puerto Rico and Spain. CDPAP is exclusively a New York State program. The patient receiving care must be a resident of NY with active NY Medicaid. However, the caregiver you hire can be from any background, provided they are legally authorized to work in the United States. We proudly offer fully bilingual support (CDPAP en Español) to assist our diverse communities.
