TRANSCRIPT
A Program From the Cortland County Community Action Program, Inc.(CAPCO) In Collaboration With The Local Department of
Social Services (LDSS)
Presentation Created By: Timothy Lennon (SUNY Cortland)
CDPAP is a self-directed task-based home care model for Medicaid eligible consumers who:
Need home care services
…and…
Can manage their own care* OR…
- have a responsible adult willing to assume the program’s responsibilities on their behalf.
The Basis of the Program:
Many disabled individuals have the ability to choose their own caregivers and direct their own home care services.
CDPAP’s Solution:Through Medicaid funding, CDPAP works with the
Local Department of Social Services (LDSS) to make it possible for approved participants to designate their own personal assistant.
Lets Recap: How does CDPAP Work?
• Consumers can hire, train, supervise, or dismiss their personal assistant.Control
• Consumers schedule when to get personal assistance, directing how and when their care plan is managed.
Independence
• Consumers are responsible for training personal assistants and overseeing the care given.
Responsibility
A study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that people who reach age 65 will likely have a 40 percent chance of entering a nursing home at some point. Many of these cases might be avoided with CDPAP.
