Keeping Our Participants Engaged Via Virtual Programming

In March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic first struck New York, CenterLight was forced to close its centers to all activities except medical care. With participants home quarantining, the team at CenterLight recognized and immediately acted upon the need to continue offering recreational experiences to help combat feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Staff quickly began offering a 5-day a week program of virtual experiences via Facebook for participants to enjoy. CenterLight offers programs for a wide range of interests, including music, yoga, wellness, bingo, comedy, and cooking. Educational and self-care related content is also offered to address the unique needs of caregivers.

Our team of physicians, nurses, social workers and therapists work with you and your family to develop a healthcare plan that’s right for you. We also provide transportation from your home to our day centers, doctors’ appointments, and other health-related needs.

How to Enroll

To get started in the enrollment process for CenterLight PACE, just give us a call at 1-833-252-2737, Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. TTY users should call 711. If you are transferring from a Managed Long Term Care Plan, we will send a nurse to meet with you and your caregiver to discuss your care needs and long-term options in detail. If necessary, we’ll help you navigate the government approval process to expedite coverage and services. We’ll formulate an individual care plan designed to meet your specific needs. You may also contact us by filling in the form on the right.

If you are new to Managed Long Term Care, we will refer you to the Conflict-Free Evaluation and Enrollment Center (CFEEC), phone number 1-855-222-8350. Maximus (New York Medicaid Choice), in cooperation with CFEEC, will then conduct an evaluation using a tool called the Uniform Assessment System (UAS) to determine your eligibility for community-based long term care. Individuals who are deemed eligible for enrollment will receive education from CFEEC regarding plans in the area. If you are interested in enrolling into CenterLight, we advise you to inform CFEEC of your preference.

 

The participant may be liable for the costs of unauthorized or out-of-PACE program agreement services. Upon enrollment, the PACE program will be the participant’s sole service provider. Participants will have access to all services needed as identified by the Interdisciplinary Team, but not to a specific provider of these services. Please contact us for more information.
