Support services can make all the difference for families with special needs members, but qualifying is challenging for caretakers already stretched thin. Home Care Advisory Group ( ((212) 540-2984) expands its services to help New York residents access support from the OPWDD.
-- The service expansion comes as the state works to implement an $850 million investment in nonprofit residential and day services. Home Care Advisory Group can assist New York residents with paperwork to qualify for these programs and more.

Earlier this year, the state announced funding increases that will primarily boost wages for direct care staff, with officials hoping the move will improve the quality of care as well as staff retention rates. The wage increases should help stabilize the OPWDD workforce, which is responsible for hands-on care for New York residents with developmental disabilities.
OPWDD services can be a game-changer for special needs individuals and their families, but these residents must first qualify to receive services from the state. Home Care Advisory Group can help families manage the application process and access benefits once they are approved.
The advocacy group’s expert case workers can help with everything from eligibility to collecting and submitting documents. Case workers can complete Medicaid eligibility checks and help individuals determine any outstanding steps they must complete in order to qualify. Group experts will also identify needed documentation and then submit both the application and accompanying paperwork. Case workers will also follow up, monitor, and keep families apprised of progress. Applications typically take a month to five weeks to process.
New York OPWDD serves residents with diagnoses like autism, Down Syndrome, and cerebral palsy. The agency also helps individuals with other developmental disorders that affect brain function and development, which are identified in early childhood. Home Care Advisory Group helps affected residents work through the state system, from the application process to securing benefits once approved.
Potential benefits include opportunities like day programs providing instruction in life skills and socialization, and multiple housing and residential service options to accommodate different levels of supervision. Families with special needs members living at home may also qualify for counseling and respite care as well as educational resources.
