The Department for the Aging (NYC Aging) funds the Expanded In-Home Services for the Elderly Program (EISEP), for older adults age 60 and older.  The program provides in-home care in addition to the informal care that the older adult's family provides.  A home care attendant provided through EISEP usually does not visit more than 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. Generally, there are no services during the weekend.

You can make a complaint about the home care service currently being provided through EISEP for an older adult who is 60 or older.  

NYC Aging does not accept complaints about home care agencies that are funded by the Human Resource Administration through Medicaid or any other Managed Medicaid Long Term Care provider.
