You’ve worked hard caring for others, and recent changes in New York’s home care regulations may have left you wondering what comes next. After the April 1, 2025 requirement that all CDPAP participants register with a single fiscal intermediary, many personal assistants found themselves facing uncertainty. At Caring Professionals, we want to make sure you understand your options—and see how you can take advantage of a chance to grow, earn more, and feel truly supported.
A Fresh Path Forward
If you’re a CDPAP PA who isn’t caring for a parent or child, you don’t have to follow the crowd. Instead of feeling stuck in the new system, you can take the next step in your career by becoming a Certified Personal Care Assistant (PCA) with Caring Professionals. Here’s how we’ll help you make that move:
- Boosted Pay
We know how much you deserve to earn. As a PCA, you could bring in up to $23 per hour—quite a jump compared to standard PA pay. - Simple, One-Day Certification
Pass your ACD exam and you’re certified on the spot that same day. If you don’t pass, you can enroll in our flexible 9–11 day PCA training program. To help you succeed, we provide online prep courses before your exam. - A Robust Benefits Package
Your well-being matters. That’s why we offer paid time off, health insurance, and a full suite of benefits that help you balance work and life. - Real, Local Support
Our offices across New York are staffed by people who speak your language and understand your neighborhood. You’ll always know exactly where to go and who to ask for. - Decades of Trust
