On November 2, 2015 the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA) plans to open the FY2016 Homemaker Notice of Intent (NOI) to Contract process.
The Homemaker NOI is the process Home Care agencies must complete if they are interested in contracting with the State’s network of 26 Aging Services Access Points (ASAPs) to provide Homemaker and Personal Care services through the State Home Care program.
- The FY2016 Homemaker NOI Application, Instructions and Guidance Documents can be found on: https://noi.800ageinfo.com.
- Announcements regarding the FY2016 NOI process will be posted to this website (http://hnoi-announce.800ageinfo.com).
** UPDATED DOCUMENTS TO BE POSTED BY WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 21, 2015**
Home Care agencies that previously completed the online Homemaker NOI process and appear on the Listing of Current Providers do not need to complete the FY16 Homemaker NOI Application again this year.
However, you will need to confirm/update your corporate data within your approved Application if any data has changed. If a Provider’s information is staying the same, no action needs to be taken.
