🌟Spotlight Week: CDPAP

🔦This week, we’re shining a light on STIC’s Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP)!

🫂🤲Do you need home care? Do you want to direct your own care? There is a program for you!

🤔❓What is CDPAP? CDPAP is a Medicaid funded program that allows people who require personal care assistance to hire, train, supervise, schedule, and terminate their own Personal Assistants (including most family members, a neighbor or a friend). CDPAP is an alternative to traditional home care as it allows you to direct your own care.

✦This program works with people with disabilities of any age who have Medicaid and are approved by the New York Independent Assessor Program (NYIAP) for CDPAP services.

✦STIC is a CDPAP Facilitator partnered with Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), the Statewide Fiscal Intermediary (SWFI) for CDPAP.

✅️For more information on enrolling in CDPAP services, you can contact STIC’s CDPAP Dept. at 607-724-2111 or cdpa@stic-cil.org 🕊️💙
