Please join Elliot Porcher (NY Legal Assistance Group) on how to access Medicaid home care services. Medicaid home care services can cover care throughout the day from a home health aide, delivery & coverage of certain medical equipment, & other services such as PT & OT. Medicaid is often the only long-term, financially sustainable way for low-income New Yorkers to access care from an aide in the home.
