Right at Home

Right at Home is a homecare agency serving Patchoque, New York and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In New York, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the New York State Department of Health and generally must maintain a Licensed Home Care Services Agency (LHCSA) License. New York requires licensure as a Licensed Home Care Services Agency for most home care services.

Payment Options: In New York, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Medicaid Managed Long Term Care (MLTC). These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact New York Department of Health or visit https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/program/longterm/ to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit New York State Department of Health for more information about homecare services in New York.

Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.
