In-Home Assistance
Living independently and safely at home is a priority for many seniors.
Our Program
FCA case managers offer in-home services for seniors age 60 and over. They connect seniors to available community resources that will help them remain safely and independently at home.
Services
Case managers will:
- Provide an in-home comprehensive and confidential assessment evaluating your situation and your needs.
- Eligibility for services is determined during the assessment. Also included is a financial assessment to determine whether services require a cost share.
- Develop a care plan identifying appropriate services and providers.
- This written care plan will be reviewed with you before services are initiated.
- Make use of all available community resources for which you are eligible, including:
- Medicaid
- Food Stamps
- Home Health Aides
- Meals-on-Wheels
- Monitor services to be sure they meet your needs and reassess and modify the care plan when necessary.
- Offer support for caregivers struggling to care for a loved one.
- Arrange for visits through our Friendly Visiting program, which matches seniors with volunteers who visit weekly.
- If you or someone you care about would benefit from a weekly visit, please call (516) 292-1300.

Most important it puts smiles on the faces of seniors and brings joy to their hearts. This program is made possible with funds from the Greentree Foundation.
