| Annotation | Although home care is more cost-effective than institutional care and there is a preference to live at home, New York State has targeted the Medicaid home care programme for cuts in services since about 1991. "Personal care" has been most affected, although cuts have also extended to the "certified home health care" and private duty nursing. This article outlines the nature of restrictions on Medicaid home care services in New York State. Issues involving "procedural" rights of those needing home care are examined. Legal rights can be used to obtain and maximise home care services through Medicaid. However, legislation has been used to cut the programme; this is both fiscally short-sighted and morally inhumane.
