Westchester County Department of Social Services is a government agency responsible for assessing the needs, determining eligibility, and authorizing various medical and home-care services for Medicaid recipients. Their range of home-care services is designed to ensure the health and safety of elderly, infirm, or disabled individuals by providing assistance with daily living activities, personal hygiene, household tasks, and nutrition. These services are physician ordered and supervised by registered nurses, and delivered by licensed providers under contract with the Department of Social Services.
They offer Personal Care Services that can be combined with other services like visiting nurse or hospice, as well as the Consumer Directed Personal Care Assistance Program (CDPAP) which allows individuals to manage the delivery of their own home care by recruiting, hiring, and training their personal care aide. Additionally, they provide the Managed Care Long Term Program (MCLTP) for frail-elderly patients with complex medical profiles who require nursing care, offering a pre-capitated program of coordinated healthcare approved by the New York State.
