    Person-Centered Care

WHOLE PERSON-CENTERED CARE:

PHYSICAL, MENTAL, & EMOTIONAL

Care Design NY is a Care Coordination Organization/Health Home for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD). 

Our care coordination and management services are available in 30 New York State counties, in your primary language, and with a sensitivity to your religious and cultural background.  We coordinate disability supports and services, incorporating health and wellness needs. 

Your Care Manager has the responsibility to make sure you are supported in all the ways that lead to the healthiest outcomes for you and they take a whole-person approach to understanding your unique needs and how to achieve your desired goals.  This means that your needs and preferences are most important and the guiding force behind everything we do.

A Care Manager works with a network of providers to plan and manage the disability services and supports, incorporating health and wellness needs, so members may live a quality life.

Watch the "I AM ASSESSEMENT and LIFE PLAN" video below to better understand how a Care Manager and member work together to understand quality of life goals -- what is important to each individual and where they want support so they may live a quality life. 

The "Life Plan" will evolve as person's needs change to ensure desired life goals for optimal physical, mental, and emotional outcomes.

Your Care Your Health Included

Care Design NY is a CCO/Health Home. In addition to coordinating disability supports and services, Care Design NY Care Managers incorporate health and wellness needs.

Your Care Manager has the responsibility to make sure you are supported in all the ways that lead to the healthiest outcomes for you and they take a whole-person approach to understanding your unique needs and how to achieve your desired goals.

What can I expect from my Care Manager?

  • Identify providers covered by your insurance
  • Help schedule your appointment
  • Help secure transportation for your appointment
  • Ensure you made it to your appointment
