Medicaid Home Care Assistance in New York-Care at Home, Done Right

Approved for Medicaid? Let's Make Sure You Get the Right Care at Home.

Getting approved for Medicaid is only part of the journey. The next step is ensuring you or your loved one actually receives quality care at home.



But finding the right caregiver can feel overwhelming. Between Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) plans, assessments, agency choices, and programs like CDPAP, families are often left confused about what to do next.


Elder Healthcare Services simplifies the entire process. Our home care coordination service helps you enroll, get assessed properly, and match with a caregiver who truly fits your needs.

How We Help You Secure Medicaid Home Care

We guide you step-by-step through New York's home care system:

  • 1. MLTC Enrollment

    If you're not already enrolled in a Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) plan, we help you choose and enroll in the right one. MLTC plans manage home care hours for Medicaid recipients in NY.

  • 2. Assessment Coordination

    We coordinate your nurse evaluation (often referred to as the state assessment) and advocate for the appropriate number of care hours based on your medical and daily living needs.

  • 3. Caregiver Matching

    Using our network of licensed home care agencies across New York State, we help match you with a qualified caregiver. Whether you need:


    • Aide experience with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's
    • A specific language (Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, and more)
    • A culturally compatible caregiver
    • A family member through programs like CDPAP

    We work to ensure the right fit.


  • 4. Ongoing Support

    If issues arise-such as schedule changes, personality conflicts, or reassessment needs-we stay involved and help resolve them.
