Care for the Uninsured

Tri-Borough Home Care has always provided care for the uninsured in our community. Now, thanks to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), we are able to provide home care for people who have no health insurance and no means to pay for their care. This program, funded by New York State, provides up to $30,000 per lifetime worth of home care for people with HIV/AIDS that do not have health insurance.
