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.

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. Memory care facilities in NYC often run $6,000–$10,000 per month. Private pay and insurance options are also available.

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.

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, compared to $6,000 to $10,000 per month for NYC memory care facilities.
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.
