Get great homecare

Get loving care and assistance with everyday tasks and basic medical needs — right in the comfort of your own home.

Common questions:

Should I get an aide or CDPAP?

It’s up to you! Some patients like having someone they know look after them, and others prefer a professional whom they don’t know personally. There are also some differences in what services each kind of caregiver can perform. An HHA can help with only basic medical needs — including medication reminders, blood pressure monitoring, and bed transfers — while a CDPAP caregiver can also perform more hands-on medical services, like operating medical equipment, dressing wounds, and administering medication.
Both are excellent options.

How much will my caregiver earn?

The exact rates depend on several factors, but caregivers can earn up to $21.09 per hour, paid weekly. Call us to find out more about your earning eligibility.

Who can be my CDPAP caregiver?

CDPAP allows you to hire certain family members as your caregivers. However, it’s important to note that there are some restrictions on who you can hire. You can hire a child, a relative or a friend but you cannot hire a legal spouse and a parent can’t care for a child under 21.

I don’t have Medicaid yet. Can I get care?

Don’t worry! At Link, we help you register with Medicaid so you can access the care you need. We offer support with Medicaid application and approval processes. As long as you live in New York State and meet the eligibility criteria, we can help you access care.

What if I’m not eligible for Medicaid?

If you’re not eligible for Medicaid, we offer private pay homecare services. Call us to learn more about your options.

Can I get more care hours?

Eligibility is determined on a case by case basis. Just give us a call and we’ll help get you the maximum hours you’re entitled to.

What are all my homecare options again?

There are 2 Medicaid programs that provide homecare services in the state of New York:
● CDPAP (Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program). You choose your caregiver.
● LHSCA (Licensed Home Care Service Agencies). An agency provides you with an aide.

In addition, there are 2 Medicaid waiver programs that offer more hours and more intensive care:
● NHTD (Nursing Home Transition and Diversion). This is for patients aged 18-65 with a physical disability OR age 65+.
● TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). This is for patients aged 18-65 who have experience brain injury.

Call us to determine your eligibility.
