About Us

Sunflower Home Care Agency offers expert guidance on the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), originating from the New York State Medicaid program. This innovative initiative empowers individuals to hire and direct their own home care workers, including family and friends, with the added benefit of regular payment. Sunflower Home Care Agency streamlines the application process for those meeting essential criteria: having Medicaid, requiring home care, and being self-directing or having a designated representative. The program is available for children, elders, seniors, and differently-abled individuals, with application and enrollment facilitated through the Local Department of Social Services or Medicaid plan.

Navigating the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program and Managed Long Term Care application involves assessments, required forms, and caregiver selection. Compensation, ranging from $18 to $23 per hour, is provided by the government, offering flexible hours. Sunflower Home Care Agency adeptly guides individuals through the Managed Long Term Care application complexities, offering support for three main plan types with bespoke services.

Sunflower Home Care Agency specialists simplify the entire process, addressing concerns and leading applicants through each step for a seamless journey. While there is no official maximum number of hours for the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program, approval depends on the Medicaid Managed Care plan, allowing consumers to receive up to 24 hours of care, seven days a week. For caregivers, including friends and family, most fiscal intermediaries aim to limit weekly hours to around 40 to manage overtime costs.

Prioritizing independence and well-being, Sunflower Home Care Agency invites individuals to partner with them in navigating the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program. Contact us today to ensure you receive the personalized care you deserve.
