Why In-Home Care

Home is the best place for someone with Alzheimer's

Familiar surroundings reduce confusion, anxiety, and agitation in people with memory loss. Home care provides one-on-one attention that no facility can match.

Her own chair, her own window, her own clock on the wall. That is the part a facility cannot reproduce.
Familiar environment

Research shows that people with Alzheimer's do better in familiar surroundings. Their own home, their own routines, their own belongings all help reduce disorientation and behavioral symptoms.

Dedicated one-on-one care

Unlike a memory care facility where staff is shared among many residents, your loved one receives the full attention of a single dedicated caregiver throughout every shift.

Often more affordable

In-home care through Medicaid costs most families $0 out of pocket. Paying privately, a dementia-trained aide is $32 an hour, the same rate as any other aide, because we do not charge a surcharge for memory care. A memory care facility runs a national median of $7,908 a month, and New York City runs higher than that.

Facility figure: CareScout Cost of Care Survey, 2025. Our rate is published in full on the private pay page.

What We Provide

What our Alzheimer's caregivers do every day

Our certified Home Health Aides and Personal Care Aides support individuals with Alzheimer's disease and dementia with dignity and patience.

Most of the work is ordinary: breakfast, the pill organiser, the same order every morning. Routine is what keeps confusion down.
Personal hygieneBathing, dressing, grooming, and oral care with patience and respect for dignity.
Medication remindersEnsuring medications are taken on schedule, as directed by the care team.
Meal preparationPreparing nutritious meals according to dietary needs and personal preferences.
Mobility & fall preventionAssisting with walking, transfers, and range-of-motion exercises to reduce fall risk. A physical therapist at home works on the same balance and stairs when a doctor orders it.
Wandering supervisionContinuous supervision to keep your loved one safe and prevent unsafe wandering. When it happens at night, that usually calls for live-in care.
Companionship & engagementConversation, activities, and memory exercises that support cognitive well-being.
Light housekeepingMaintaining a clean, safe, and organized home environment.
Vital signs monitoring (HHA)Home Health Aides measure temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and respiration under RN supervision. Anything clinical — injections, wounds, IV — is nursing at home, a separate service.
Family caregiver respiteRelief for family members so they can rest, work, and take care of themselves too.
Cost & Coverage

How families pay for Alzheimer's home care

We work with Medicaid, private insurance, and private pay families. Call us and we will help you find the best option for your situation. Dementia care is not a separate licensed service: it is the same aide work with memory-trained caregivers, so it is paid for the same way as everything else on our list of home care services.

Medicaid & MLTC

New York Medicaid and Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) plans cover certified in-home care for eligible individuals with Alzheimer's or dementia. Most families pay $0 out of pocket.

  • $0 cost for most eligible families
  • We verify eligibility on a free call
  • We handle all paperwork & doctor coordination
  • Approval typically takes 3 to 6 weeks

Long-Term Care Insurance

If your loved one has a Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) policy, it very likely covers in-home Alzheimer's care. We work with most major LTCI carriers and can assist with benefit verification.

  • Most LTCI policies cover in-home care
  • We help verify your benefits
  • We coordinate billing with your insurer
  • Care can often start faster than Medicaid

Private Pay

Private pay gives you maximum flexibility in scheduling, caregiver selection, and start date. For private-pay clients, we can often place a caregiver the same day you call.

  • Same-day placement available in NYC
  • Full control over schedule & hours
  • No waiting for insurance approval
  • Flexible plans from a few hours to 24/7 care

Yes, people with Alzheimer's disease can receive certified in-home care in New York through Medicaid, Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) plans, Long-Term Care Insurance, or private pay.

How much does in-home Alzheimer's care cost in New York City?
For Medicaid-eligible families, in-home Alzheimer's care in NYC costs $0 out of pocket. Paying privately, a dementia-trained aide is $32 an hour, the same rate as any other aide: we do not charge a surcharge for memory care.

ProLife will quote your exact schedule on a free call at (718) 232-2777.
What is the difference between in-home Alzheimer's care and a memory care facility in NYC?
In-home Alzheimer's care means a caregiver comes to your loved one's home, so they remain in a familiar environment with one-on-one attention. Memory care facilities are residential settings where staff is shared among many residents. Research shows familiar surroundings reduce confusion and behavioral symptoms in people with dementia. In-home care through Medicaid also costs most families $0, and paying privately it is $32 an hour, against a national median of $7,908 a month (CareScout Cost of Care Survey, 2025) for a facility.
Can a family member get paid to care for someone with Alzheimer's in NY?
Yes. Through New York's CDPAP (Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program), a family member or trusted friend can be paid to provide care for a Medicaid-eligible person with Alzheimer's or dementia. CDPAP is administered through a state-designated Fiscal Intermediary. The caregiver cannot be the patient's spouse or legal guardian. ProLife Home Care can explain your options and help you navigate the process.
How quickly can Alzheimer's home care start in NYC?
Private-pay clients can often have a caregiver placed the same day they call across Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx. For Medicaid clients, care typically begins 3 to 6 weeks after approval. Long-Term Care Insurance clients are generally faster than Medicaid. Call (718) 232-2777 for a specific timeline based on your situation.
Do your caregivers speak languages other than English?
Yes. ProLife Home Care has caregivers who speak 13 languages: Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian, Chinese, Georgian, Bengali, Korean, Arabic, Haitian Creole, Urdu, Polish, and French. This is especially important for Alzheimer's patients, who often revert to their native language as the disease progresses. We match caregivers by language, personality, and care needs.
