There's no place like your home. At Community Care CDPAP, we believe in promoting your independence and well-being by giving you complete control over yours or a family member’s health. We offer an alternative to traditional home care by allowing you or your family member to be cared for by someone you know and trust through New York State’s Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP).
