Home Health Aide

An HHA (Home Health Aide) assists the patient in the activities of daily living and provides basic routine care, such as assistance in eating, bathing, brushing teeth, giving medicine, changing dressing, checking a patient’s temperature, pulse rate and checking vital signs. An HHA follows a plan of care, which is written up by a nurse at the time of assessment.

Personal Care Aide (PCA)

A PCA will follow a plan of care written by the nurse that will encompass all or part of the duties listed. They can perform household duties, as well as assist with hands-on care for the patient. A PCA can remind the patient to take medications and can accompany the patient to medical appointments, but they cannot administer medication for the patient. These professionals help people, living with physical or mental disabilities, perform day-to-day activities and lead normal lives.

Consumer Directed (CDPAP)

CDPAP: Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program
Finding the right care for the people you care for most, the CDPAP program is a self-directed home-care program available to Medicaid-eligible consumers in need of home-care services and are capable of directing their own care. Once your eligibility is determined, as well as the type and amount of services needed, the next step will be to locate a Personal Assistant(s) (PA). These PAs can be virtually anyone the consumer wants: a friend, neighbor, aide or even a family member. PAs do not have to be HHA-certified. A parent, spouse or designated representative is not eligible for PA status. Once you have a designated PA, he/she enrolls with us.

CDPAP Benefits
The CDPAP program enables individuals to embrace independence by controlling their own care. The Personal Assistant you hire can help you with:

• Bathing
• Cleaning
• Cooking/Meals
• Dressing
• Eating
• Grooming
• Housekeeping
• Laundry
• Personal Hygiene
• Shopping

If you or a family member is eligible and in need of someone to provide assistance with daily living tasks, one of the Outreach Specialists at Marquis Home Care can help you get enrolled in CDPAP today.

Pool Trust & Medicaid Assistance

A Pooled Income Trust is a unique type of trust operated by a federally approved 501(c)(3) that allows disabled individuals of any age to preserve their income and assets, so that they may become or retain financial eligibility for such public benefits such as Medicaid Home Care.

Under current New York Medical law, income in excess of the monthly Medicaid allowance must first be spent down on home care or medical expenses prior to receiving Medicaid coverage. Unfortunately, the guidelines do not exempt living expenses, such as rent, food, clothes, or utility services when calculating an applicant’s excess income. As a result, Medicaid recipients may not have a sufficient amount of funds to maintain their standard monthly living expenses.

Per state and federal regulations, any disabled individual that deposits their monthly excess income into a Pooled Income Trust will not be subject to rules that regularly apply to monthly excess income. The deposited income will therefore not be counted as available income required to be spent on medical expenses.

By establishing a Pooled Income Trust, the beneficiary obtains the benefit of having their monthly income available to them to pay for their living expenses without contributing to the cost of their medical care.
