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.

FreedomCare is the right choice for you
Your caregiver will get paid the same day.
Plus, you and your caregiver can choose from a selection of exceptional benefits*:
Here’s How it Works:
1. Get Assessed
A nurse will visit you at home to determine if you’re eligible for Medicaid-funded in-home care. You’ll find out how many weekly hours of care you can get.
2. Choose a Caregiver
You choose a caregiver: your daughter, son, relative, or friend. We come to your home to enroll you in the program.
3. You Get Care – They Get Paid
You get ongoing care from a person who loves you. They get peace of mind because they’re getting paid for the care they give.
Who is eligible for FreedomCare?
Funded by Medicaid, we want to make sure understanding your eligibility* is simple.

“A blessing”
Dorothy Zuniga
Brooklyn, NY
I have multiple sclerosis. After my second hospitalization, I realized I needed help. To have my best friend be here for me is a blessing. My caseworker, Ashley, is very helpful — I feel comfortable calling anytime. And having someone I trust work for me keeps my mind at ease.
"I’m gonna make 90"
Roberta Salley
Brooklyn, NY
I didn’t want an aide; I don’t get along well with strangers. My daughter knows me and loves me; she looks right past my attitude. With her as my aide, I think I’m gonna hit 90. You watch. I’m gonna be the first one in my family to make 90.
