For Families

We'll help you care for the ones who cared for you.

Caring for an aging parent can feel overwhelming, especially when you don't know what help exists. Medna is the team that guides you through all of it, across New York and New Jersey, so you're never figuring it out alone.

Peace of mind

You don't have to become an expert. That's our job.

Medicaid rules, waiver programs, eligibility paperwork. It's a lot to learn at the worst possible time. We carry that weight so you don't have to, with one point of contact who knows your family's story from the first call to the day care is in place.

Get started
Getting started

Two ways care gets funded. One simple way to begin.

Some families qualify for Medicaid waivers; others pay privately for care at home. You don't need to know which one fits your loved one. That's the first thing we figure out together.

It starts here

One call with Medna

We learn about your loved one's situation, then point you toward the right path. From there, here's what each one looks like.

Common questions

Questions families ask us

Where do we even start?
With one call. We'll listen, review your loved one's situation, and lay out the options clearly, so you leave the conversation knowing the next step.
How quickly can care start?
It depends on the path. Private-pay home care in New Jersey can often begin within days of the in-home assessment. Medicaid and waiver approvals take longer because they run on the program's timeline, but we move things as fast as the system allows and keep you updated the whole way.
Does Medna provide the care, or just help arrange it?
Both, depending on where you are. In New York, we're your coordinator and guide: we connect your loved one to the right waiver, Medicaid, and care services and manage the process from start to finish. In New Jersey, we provide home care directly, with our own caregivers in the home. Either way, you have one team that stays with you.
How much does this cost?
Many of the services we coordinate, like Medicaid waivers, are publicly funded. We'll explain exactly what applies to your situation. Private-pay home care in New Jersey is always quoted transparently up front.
Who are the caregivers, and how are they vetted?
Every caregiver is screened and credentialed before they're placed in a home, and their care is supervised by a registered nurse. We match each family with a caregiver suited to their loved one's needs and routine, not whoever happens to be available.
My parent was denied before. Can you still help?
Yes. We understand how these systems work and can help you navigate eligibility and reapply with the right documentation in place.
Do you serve my area?
We work with families across New York and New Jersey. Tell us where your loved one lives and we'll confirm what's available to you.
