Home Care Advisory Group (212-540-2984) has released a detailed guide to help family caregivers in New York access Medicaid compensation programs, addressing a growing financial burden amid surging caregiving demands.
-- With out-of-pocket expenses for New York family caregivers averaging $7,242 annually and caregiver numbers rising 33% over the past decade, based on AARP data, Home Care Advisory Group has released a formal guide to help families access compensation through Medicaid. The resource aims to mitigate escalating financial pressures on informal caregivers by outlining state-supported pathways to paid care.

According to the AARP & National Alliance for Caregiving, over 4 million family caregivers receive Medicaid coverage for their own healthcare needs, with approximately 9% being Medicaid recipients themselves. These individuals spend an estimated 26% of their personal income on caregiving, with disproportionate impacts on Black and Hispanic households.
Home Care Advisory Group's guide focuses on the Consumer-Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), which permits Medicaid recipients to appoint family members as paid caregivers. Compensation ranges from $14 to $19 per hour, depending on regional rates, while live-in care reimbursement falls between $180 and $225 per day across New York's four regions.
It also highlights eligibility criteria, step-by-step enrollment guidance, and an overview of additional resources, such as Home and Community-Based Services waivers and available tax credits.
"Family caregivers provide essential services but often sacrifice their own financial stability," said a company representative. "Our guide helps families understand how to access legitimate compensation through existing Medicaid programs while maintaining quality care for their loved ones."
By equipping caregivers with actionable knowledge, the guide aims to prevent common enrollment mistakes and reduce the economic strain forcing many to choose between employment and caregiving.
