HomeServicesIn-Home Care

In-home care covers two different things that families often conflate. Non-medical home care is help with daily activities, companionship and household tasks. Home health is clinical care ordered by a physician and delivered by licensed staff.

Three things worth knowing first

  • Non-medical home care is generally private pay. Medicare does not cover it. Get New York's CareScout non-medical caregiver hourly median.
  • Medicare-covered home health is intermittent and skilled — nursing visits, physical therapy — not a caregiver who stays with your parent.
  • Once you need more than roughly forty to fifty hours a week, run the math against assisted living.
You can check any facility's record free. NYS Health Profiles (profiles.health.ny.gov) publishes free license status and inspection history for every Adult Care Facility and nursing home. Read the full explanation →

    Questions families ask

    Does New York rate assisted living communities the way it rates nursing homes?

    No. Federal CMS star ratings apply only to Medicare/Medicaid-certified nursing homes, published at profiles.health.ny.gov/nursing_home and on CMS Care Compare. Assisted living and memory care communities in New York do not carry CMS star ratings -- the only public quality record for them is the NYS Health Profiles inspection history.

    What is Managed Long Term Care (MLTC), and is it mandatory on Staten Island?

    MLTC is New York's Medicaid managed-care delivery system for long-term care -- either PACE (age 55+) or MLTC Partial Capitation/Medicaid Advantage Plus. Enrollment has been mandatory in New York City, including Richmond County/Staten Island, since 2012 under Medicaid Redesign Team Initiative #90, approved August 31, 2012.

    What is the NHTD waiver, and how is it different from MLTC?

    The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) waiver is a Medicaid 1915(c) home- and community-based services waiver, administered through NYSDOH Regional Resource Development Centers, for Medicaid-eligible people 65+ (or younger with a disability) assessed as needing nursing-home-level care who want to receive services in the community instead. MLTC is a managed-care delivery system; NHTD is a specific waiver program.

    What is New York's Assisted Living Program (ALP), and does it pay room and board?

    The Assisted Living Program (ALP), under 18 NYCRR Part 494, is Medicaid-funded care delivered inside a qualifying Adult Home or Enriched Housing Program setting -- covering personal care, home health aides, nursing, therapy, medical supplies, adult day health care and RN case management. It folds room and board into its rate structure differently than a pure HCBS waiver, so the exact private-pay portion varies by community.
