Some states have an advanced self directed attendant care program where neighbours for relatives who are already acting as caregivers can be an extended workforce for home care agencies. New York State’s program is called CDPAP (Consumer Directed Personal Attendant Care Program). On this episode, we welcome Denise Tripodi, Vice President of the NY LHCSA Shared Services at Personal Touch Home Care, who sheds some light onto NY’s CDPAP program and how it works within her organization. We also dive into topics related to FMAP funding, and Personal Touch Home Care’s recent acquisition of Bronx Community Home Care.
