New York Expanded In-home Services for the Elderly (EISEP)
The state of New York offers a program called Expanded In-home Services for the Elderly or EISEP for short. This program provides non-medical care services to seniors in their homes. Services include personal care, respite care, personal emergency response and case management.
The EISEP program is designed for low income seniors who do not qualify for Medicaid. In addition, program participants must need assistance with their activities of daily, be aged 60 or older and live in their homes.
The cost of these services is based on a sliding scale determined by the participant’s income level. Most participants have incomes that are at or near the poverty line.
