CDPAP stands for Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program. It is a New York State Medicaid program which allows home care consumers to recruit, hire, and direct their own caregivers. One of the highlights of the program is that it allows consumers to hire family members and friends.

The Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program is also a great option if you’re looking for a caregiver that you know. This program allows you to choose a friend or family member as your home care provider (once they get certified). We can help you get set up and settled from A to Z.
