Fucking 12% of all *privately* employed persons in NYC just collect this check to sit around because "dad is old"??

620,000+ people have this "job"?

This must be a reading comp fail on my part, or someone's part, right?

Nursing homes are demonic.

That said I agree counting someone doing that as a fully privately “employed” person is hilarious jewish obfuscation.

Yes, New York State’s Medicaid program includes the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), which allows eligible Medicaid recipients to hire and pay family members, including adult children, to provide care at home, such as assisting elderly or sick parents with daily living activities. This program enables individuals to remain in their homes rather than entering nursing facilities. Spouses and certain other relatives may be excluded as paid caregivers under specific program rules.

Eligibility and Program Details

Eligibility: To participate, individuals must:

Be eligible for New York State Medicaid.

Require home care services or a nursing home level of care.

Be capable of directing their own care or have a designated representative to do so.

Services: Caregivers can assist with activities of daily living (e.g., bathing, dressing, meal preparation) and, in some cases, skilled services like administering medications or wound care, without requiring special certifications.

Application: Enrollment is handled through the Local Department of Social Services (LDSS) or a Medicaid managed care plan.

Number of Participants

Exact figures for CDPAP participation are not consistently reported in available data, and no specific numbers for 2025 were found in the provided references. However, as of December 2023, New York’s Medicaid program covered over 7.5 million people, with CDPAP being one of several home and community-based services (HCBS) options. Estimates from advocacy groups and historical data suggest tens of thousands of New Yorkers participate in CDPAP, but precise participant numbers are unavailable without further state reporting.

Payment Details

Pay Rates: The amount paid to caregivers varies based on:

Local wage rates for home care in the county or region.

The level of care required (e.g., basic personal care vs. complex medical needs).

Program regulations, which set maximum hourly rates.

Typical Rates: Family caregivers under CDPAP are generally paid between $10 and $20 per hour, with higher rates possible in areas with higher costs of living or for skilled care. Some programs may offer stipends ranging from $1,500 to $3,500 per month, depending on care needs and hours worked.

Factors Affecting Pay: Specialized training, certifications, or the complexity of care (e.g., managing medical equipment) can increase pay rates.

Additional Notes

Other Programs: The Expanded In-Home Services for the Elderly Program (EISEP), a non-Medicaid program, also allows payment for family caregivers in some areas for non-medical services to seniors, but it has different eligibility criteria and is less comprehensive than CDPAP.

Data Limitations: Specific data on CDPAP participant numbers and total payments are not publicly detailed in the provided sources. For precise figures, you would need to contact the New York State Department of Health or your Local Department of Social Services.

Potential Impact of Policy Changes: Recent federal legislation, like the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, may introduce Medicaid cuts or work requirements, potentially affecting CDPAP funding or eligibility. However, these changes are not yet fully implemented as of July 30, 2025.

For more information or to apply, contact your Local Department of Social Services (LDSS) or the NYS Medicaid Helpline at (800) 541-2831. If you need further details or assistance navigating the application process, let me know!

nursing homes are black holes the elderly get forced into by the economic system for the purposes of stripping them of what cash they have left and giving it to scammy caretaker corporations and abusive african attendants

the "atomic family" paradigm has annihilated QoL prospects for the elderly imo. these people work their entire lives and then get thrown out into a wasteland to be predated on by foreigners and scammers
