The Lockport market specifically

Who is actually on shift

Ask how many caregivers and med aides are on the floor at 3 a.m., not the building-wide daytime ratio. Ask what happens when someone calls in sick, and whether the community uses agency staff to fill gaps.

Ask how long the administrator has been in post. Turnover at the top is one of the better predictors of turnover below it.

Questions families ask

What is CDPAP, and can I get paid to care for a family member in New York?

The Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program lets a Medicaid recipient hire, train, and supervise their own personal assistant — which can be a friend or most family members, but not a spouse or the recipient's own legally designated representative.

What is Managed Long Term Care (MLTC), and is it mandatory?

MLTC is New York's managed-care model bundling home care, personal care, adult day health care, and nursing home care through DOH-approved plans. It has been mandatory since 2012 for dual-eligible adults 21+ needing more than 120 days of community-based long-term care.

Did New York's 2014 Medicaid expansion change anything for senior long-term care eligibility?

No — New York's 2014 ACA Medicaid expansion (and its earlier 2001 Family Health Plus expansion) covers non-elderly low-income adults. Long-term-care Medicaid for seniors uses entirely separate aged/blind/disabled eligibility rules that were not changed by either expansion.

Does Medicaid ever try to recover money from a family after a senior on Medicaid passes away?

Yes — New York's Medicaid Estate Recovery Program can file a claim against a deceased recipient's estate to recover what Medicaid paid for long-term care, subject to spousal and other protections.
