The Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) provides a wide range of resources to New York families through state-funded programs or, as is the case with Amelia Home Care, private partnerships. Thanks to this partnership, the services available through Amelia are fully covered by Medicaid.

Those who sign up will have access to a wide range of home care options to address varying levels of need. Their team is available to provide short-term, post-surgery care, or long-term support with daily tasks such as bathing, feeding, dressing, and occupational therapy. Medication management assistance is also available.

As a representative explains, pediatric disability patients tend to respond more positively to in-home care, as it allows them to remain in a comfortable, familiar environment throughout the care process. Families also stand to benefit from this arrangement, avoiding burnout and fatigue while still maintaining involvement in the child’s life.

The mother of one patient stated, “Before finding Amelia, I was exhausted—running on empty trying to care for my 6-year-old daughter with Down syndrome. I barely slept, constantly overwhelmed by the pressure of doing everything on my own. Once Amelia came into our lives, the difference was immediate. My daughter is now well cared for and thriving.”

Amelia Home Care operates under a specially developed model of care intended to prioritize emotional support and familial involvement in the care process. All home care staff is independently certified by the New York State Department Of Health and heavily vetted to ensure a high quality of care can be maintained.

Following the recent update, Amelia Home Care is able to offer an expedited intake process. They are now able to verify insurance status and eligibility with minimal intervention on the part of the patient’s family. Those interested can call (929) 333-3955 to schedule a no-cost consultation and evaluation.
