Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an LHCSA and a CHHA?

An LHCSA is a state-licensed agency that provides personal care and home health aide help. A CHHA is a certified agency that provides skilled care, such as nursing and therapy, and can bill Medicare. Ask which one you need.

How can I check a New York home care agency?

Search the New York State Department of Health home care profiles. They show the agency type, services, and address. You can also ask the agency for its license details. You can also ask the agency to explain its license in simple words.

Does Medicare pay for home care in New York?

Medicare generally does not pay for non-medical home care, such as help with bathing and meals. It may cover skilled home health after a doctor orders it. Ask the agency and your plan before care starts.

How many hours of home care can I book?

Most agencies set a minimum number of hours per visit, and some offer live-in or overnight care. Ask about minimums, night options, and rates. Get them in writing. Also ask how the agency handles a missed visit.

People Also Ask

What should a care plan include?

A care plan lists the tasks the aide will do, the schedule, and any health notes. It should be written and updated as needs change. Ask to see it before care starts.

Can I find aides who speak my language?

Many agencies in New York City employ aides who speak more than one language. Ask which languages are available and request a match when you call.

Is home care different in New York City than upstate?

Yes. New York City has many more agencies, while some upstate areas have fewer choices. Ask if an agency serves your address before you request a quote.
