MEDICAID CHANGES UPSET BRONX HOME AIDE PROGRAMS
BY DANIEL BEEKMAN (NYDN)
A handful of Bronx home attendant programs are shutting down this month due to changes in New York’s Medicaid system.
Christian Community in Action is folding in response to the changes championed by Gov. Cuomo, and the shutdowns are provoking anxiety among home attendants and their clients.
“I love my job,” said Carmen Ramos, 56, who has worked at Christian Community for 17 years. “It hurts to see the agency close. I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
