Statement from the Home Care Association of New York State Regarding Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s Press Release on Home Care Providers
The Home Care Association of New York State and our members fully support efforts to ensure that our agencies are able to recruit properly trained and certified home care aides, which has been the original and primary focus of the Attorney General’s two-year inquiry involving a limited number of training sites in the downstate area. Aides trained at these sites were then employed by agencies throughout the region, which as a consequence were then affected through the subpoena process by this investigation.
