“Best program ever”
I’ve had aides in the past, but it always ended badly. This is one of the best programs ever. I’m so happy that my niece is helping me.

“Mom is getting stronger, and it feels so good”
We brought in a couple of aides for my mother, but I could tell she wasn’t happy. Now I get to care for Mom daily — and she’s smiling and laughing. I feel really good, knowing she’s getting stronger each day.

“Her face lit up!”
It was hard, because I didn’t want to leave my mom at home – I was scared she’d leave the stove on or get hurt. And you only get one mother. Now I get to have a job AND care for my mom at once. It’s literally PERFECT.
Getting care you trust is simple as 1 – 2 – 3.
1. Get Assessed
You fill out this form and send in some paperwork. Then a nurse will reach out to determine how many weekly hours of care you can get with CDPAP (Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program).
2. Choose a Caregiver
You choose a caregiver you love: your daughter, son, relative, or friend. We schedule an orientation call to finalize your enrollment.

CDPAP, or the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program, is a New York State Medicaid initiative that allows consumers to choose and hire their own personal caregiver. This includes friends and family members (as long as they are not the patient’s spouse). Which means….
You can care for a family member and get paid!
No one can take care of you like family or close friends. To them your health is more than just a job. Of course, you don’t want to be a burden to your loved ones. That’s where CDPAP comes in. After you enroll, your chosen caregiver will get paid for taking care of you.

The valley is home to many colleges and universities, including Vassar College, Bard College, and Marist College. The valley is also known for its apple orchards, wineries, and breweries.
The valley has a rich history, and it was inhabited by indigenous peoples ages before Europeans arrived. The Lenape, Wappinger, and Mahican branches of the Algonquins lived along the river, mostly in peace with the other groups ¹. The lower Hudson River was inhabited by the Lenape. The Lenape people waited for the explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano onshore, traded with Henry Hudson, and sold the island of Manhattan. The valley was also a significant location during the American Revolution, and many historic sites related to the Revolution are located in the valley.
