Qualifying for this system involves a visit/telehealth visit by the Maximus nurse. The family then chooses a managed long term care company which will be responsible for all aspects of maintaining the health of the patient. The home care will be delivered by the licensed home care services agency, Caring Professionals. Caring Professionals can assist families through this entire process, and provide ongoing support to explain necessary paperwork, assessments and enrollment procedures: - How to request the Maximus nurse visit - Helping you choose the best managed long term care company for you - Explanation of benefits - Paperwork guidance & submission - Reminders and updates - Referrals for other senior service - Ongoing support ## Short Term Care Medicare recipients may qualify for short term home care as well as skilled services after a medical episode. These are arranged by the discharge planner (social worker) in the hospital or rehab center. The CHHA (Certified Home Health Agency) has overall responsibility for all the services in the home, including occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, wound care and social work. The home care agency provides the home health aide (HHA) in coordination with the CHHA. Caring Professionals can assist families in navigating the discharge to the home, and ensuring that all necessary services are seamlessly provided. Coordination with the CHHA Referral to Medicaid enrollment services if desired Referral to private pay home care services if desired [Contact Us](https://www.caringprofessionals.com/contact-us/) ## Non-Medicaid Support If you do not have Medicaid, you may still qualify for this free wrap around coverage. Our intake specialists can direct you to a quality Medicaid enrollment service which will not charge for its service. Please note: Caring Professionals does not make decisions on application approvals nor does it determine hours of home care. We just deliver quality home care. If you are determined as ineligible for Medicaid, then please get in touch to discuss how we can provide you with private pay quality home care. New York State’s eligibility rules are still inclusive, and are designed to help seniors and people with disabilities avoid exhausting all their resources on health care.

So much of the home care experience relies on you and your caregiver being a good fit. That is why CP spends so much time working on it. Our caregivers understand. We will always get back to you. Piece of mind, you will be able to speak with your coordinator when you need to. We understand how important that is. ## Your Home Care Guide It is a complex system to navigate. Accessing services can be confusing and frustrating, from necessary forms and doctor visits, to eligibility requirements. Our team works to mitigate these headaches so that you can spend more time focusing on family. We will guide you throughout the process ## Thank You for Your Kind Reviews When my mother-in-law was not getting enough hours to deal with her nighttime disorder, Caring Professionals advised us how to apply for an assessment by the appropriate MLTC. She now has adequate coverage and wonderful aides. We can sleep at night knowing that she won’t injure herself like she has in the past. Dawn DeGennaroNY Taking care of my grandfather has long been the role of my uncle. Caring Professionals not only informed me that my uncle could get paid for what he does, but they patiently coached him through the enrollment process. Now the whole family is so much happier about my grandfather’s aging.

A home health aide completes more training than a personal care aide. In New York, PCA certification requires a minimum of 40 hours; HHA certification requires a minimum of 75 hours, including 16 hours of supervised practical training. A certified PCA can upgrade to HHA by completing an additional 35 hours rather than starting over. The practical difference is scope. Both help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, meals and mobility. An HHA can also carry out certain health-related tasks under a nurse’s supervision, such as helping with prescribed exercises or assisting with medication, which a PCA is not certified to do. How do I apply to work as a Home Health Aide or Personal Care Assistant at Caring Professionals? Our current job openings can be found [here](https://www.caringprofessionals.com/join-the-team/). Our Human Resources Department processes applications and hires. When applying in person you will need (as per New York State regulations) an active HHA or PCA certificate, a pre-employment physical and labs, a legal form of ID and social security card (no photocopies), and a direct deposit form or voided check. What benefits do you offer? We offer comprehensive benefits, including medical benefits, paid vacation, sick days, a flexible spending account, transportation benefits and union benefits. For a complete list, visit our [careers page](https://www.caringprofessionals.com/join-the-team/). Do you provide training to become an HHA or PCA? Yes. We run our own PCA training course at our Hempstead location, in English and Spanish. If you are working toward home health aide certification, we can also point you to scholarships and arrangements with partner training institutions. Call us and we will tell you what is starting next.
