Medicaid Planning and Long-Term Care Services in New York
Most families think they have to pay for long-term care out of their own pocket until the money runs out. You usually do not. As a nonprofit, Long Island Family and Elder Care helps New York families qualify for Medicaid and protect their home and savings, whether care is needed at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing home.
Everything starts with a simple, free phone call. We listen to your situation, tell you where your family stands, and handle the rest.

How we help New York families
We cover the full picture of long-term care, not just one piece of it. Find the service that fits where your family is right now.
Community Medicaid and Home Care
Get quality care at home without draining a lifetime of savings. Community Medicaid can cover home health aides and personal care so your loved one stays in the home they know and love. New York's home care rules are more flexible than most families realize, and you may qualify even if you own a home or have savings.
CDPAP: Get Paid to Care for a Loved One
If you are already the one showing up to care for a parent or relative, CDPAP may let you be the paid caregiver through Medicaid. Most family members qualify, and no certification or medical training is required. We handle the Medicaid side and guide you through getting set up.
Nursing Home Medicaid
A nursing home can cost more than ten thousand dollars a month, enough to wipe out a family's savings fast. Nursing Home Medicaid can cover that cost, but New York's five-year look-back means planning makes all the difference. We help you qualify while protecting as much as the rules allow.
Medicaid Applications and Asset Protection
The application is where families lose time, money, and benefits. We manage the entire Medicaid application and use legal tools, including trusts prepared through a partner attorney, to protect your home and savings. Done right, you qualify faster and keep more of what you worked for.
Care Coordination
Getting approved for Medicaid is only half the battle. Finding reliable, quality care is the other half. We help you select the right home care agency, arrange schedules, and ensure the care plan meets your loved one's specific needs.
Assisted Living and the ALP Program
When home is no longer the right fit, assisted living can be, and New York's Assisted Living Program can help cover the cost for those who qualify. We determine what Medicaid covers and help you find the right residence through our senior placement support.
Relocation Services, Florida to New York
Bringing a parent back to New York to be closer to family? New York has one of the most supportive Medicaid programs in the country for long-term care. We help families relocate and transition care across state lines so nothing falls through the cracks.
