Organizations Filed Purposes: Licensed Home Care Service Agency

AAYHC provides two types of services: Home and Community Support Services (HCSS) through the Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Medicaid Waivers, and Personal Care Aide (PCA) service through Medicaid Managed Care or Managed Long Term Care.(continued on Schedule O)HCSS are utilized when oversight and/or supervision as a discrete service is necessary to maintain the health and welfare of the participant living in the community. Oversight and/or supervision may be needed for safety monitoring to prevent an individual from harmful activities (for example wandering or leaving the stove on unattended). Oversight and/or supervision can be accomplished through cueing, prompting, direction and instruction. If the applicant/participant does not require oversight and/or supervision, HCSS would not be appropriate. HCSS can also be provided to participants needing oversight and/or supervision who also require assistance with personal care services. Since HCSS staff must be trained at the Personal Care Aide (PCA) level, they are able to perform the scope of personal care tasks and functions necessary for an individual who also requires oversight and/or supervision. The HCSS worker is never allowed to exceed this scope of practice. HCSS is complementary but not duplicative of other services. HCSS is not to be used as a companion service. Individuals can only be approved for HCSS through the NHTD or TBI waiver.Personal Care Aides provide the participant one-on-one supervision for safety and assistance with activities of daily living to maintain the participants independence in their home. PCA services can be approved through Medicaid Managed Care, Managed Long Term Care, or can be privately paid by the individual.Both HCSS and PCA staff must complete the New York State Department of Health approved PCA training in order to be eligible to provide these services.
