What is the Medicaid program and how can we help?

The Medicaid program is a government-funded healthcare initiative that provides medical coverage and long-term care services for eligible individuals and families with limited income and resources. In New York, it operates as the New York State Medicaid program, administered locally through city agencies to serve residents across all five boroughs.

Community Medicaid is a specific category within the Medicaid program that focuses on delivering services to individuals who need long-term care but prefer to receive it in their homes or a community-based setting instead of a nursing facility. This option supports independence while keeping families together.

We at All Heart Homecare understand how confusing Medicaid assistance in Brooklyn and across NYC can feel, which is why we offer specialized services to help you navigate the Medicaid system, confirm eligibility, and connect with the right coverage for your loved one.

Who Qualifies for Community Medicaid?

To be eligible for Community Medicaid, individuals must meet specific criteria such as:

Need Medicaid Help?

Unfortunately, the detailed income and asset rules tied to the Medicaid program often lead eligible individuals to believe they do not qualify for the help they need.

Strict medicaid program integrity checks are in place to protect the system, but those same rules can make the application process feel overwhelming for families facing it for the first time. We are here to change that.

What Families Say About All Heart Homecare

Medicaid Program:Frequently Asked Questions

We understand how many questions come with the Medicaid Program. Here are answers to help guide you.

You may qualify for the New York State Medicaid program if you are an NYC resident with limited income and resources, and you are a U.S. citizen or qualifying non-citizen. Eligibility also extends to seniors, people with disabilities, pregnant women, children, and low-income families who meet the state’s financial criteria.

You can apply for medicaid assistance in Brooklyn through NY State of Health online, by mail, or in person at a Human Resources Administration office. Seniors and people with disabilities usually apply through HRA directly. All Heart Homecare can walk you through the paperwork and required documentation.
For most eligible New Yorkers, the Medicaid program is free, with no monthly premium or deductible for covered services. Some enrollees with higher incomes may have a small spend-down or co-payment, but home care, doctor visits, hospital stays, and prescriptions are generally covered at no cost when you meet eligibility rules.
New York offers four main Medicaid pathways: Community Medicaid for home and community-based care, Institutional Medicaid for nursing home care, Medicaid Managed Care plans, and Medicaid for pregnant women, children, and families. Each option has different eligibility criteria, income limits, and covered services.
In 2026, a single applicant for Community Medicaid in New York can generally have a monthly income around $1,800 and resources near $32,000, though exact figures are updated yearly by the state. Couples and families have higher limits, and certain deductions may reduce countable income.
If your income exceeds the limit, you may still qualify through New York’s Medicaid Excess Income (Spend-Down) program, which lets you “spend down” the overage on medical costs each month. Pooled income trusts are another legal option many seniors use to protect income and qualify for home care.
New York is widely considered to offer the best Medicaid plan in NY for home and community care, thanks to programs like NHTD, and Community Medicaid that keep people at home. The “best” plan depends on your needs, so comparing covered services matters more than plan names alone.
