I found them very helpful & informative when I went there in person. Thankfully there was no appointment needed and a short wait to see someone. Sadly having phoned for answers to my questions prior to going in person wasn't much help. I do share some blame here due to being unfamiliar with how exactly ask for what I wanted although a bit of questioning from the phone person would have helped.

After an operation when you need things like a wheelchair or a cane or something like that they have a very good loan closet

Great for community resources and the loan closet for medical equipment

Cdr also allows you to choose your own caregiver so that way you do not run into those problems. Whether it be a family member, a friend or someone that is already employed by cdr. Either way it is YOUR choice who helps you during your time with cdr. :)

What does the Center for Disability Rights (CDR) do?

Center For Disability Rights | Sep 24, 2021
Center For Disability Rights | Sep 24, 2021

The Center for Disability Rights has a long history of advocating for the rights and freedom of people of all ages and all types of disabilities. With an emphasis on community-based services, accessible housing and transportation, employment and fair wages for people with disabilities, and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, CDR’s Advocacy Team works to enforce and expand the laws, policies, regulations, and services that affect the day-to-day lives of people with disabilities.

I am in need of some help with an individual in my care who is transitioning to living independently. Do you have anyone on staff that specializes in that?

Center For Disability Rights | Sep 24, 2021
Center For Disability Rights | Sep 24, 2021

Yes we do! To assist individuals with disabilities to empower themselves, live in the community and maintain their own independent living. CDR employs two full-time Independent Living Specialists; one, a Spanish Speaking Independent Living Specialist to meet the needs of bilingual consumers. We utilize a peer-based approach to assist you with achieving your Independent Living goals. Our services are designed to provide a disability resource center and community support services to enable you to live without restriction and have the necessary knowledge of your rights and independent living aids available to you.

What is the Center for Disability Rights Community Supplemental Needs Pooled Trust?

Center For Disability Rights | Sep 24, 2021
Center For Disability Rights | Sep 24, 2021

Individuals with disabilities who have too much money to qualify for Medicaid can put the extra money into a special bank account called a Supplemental Needs Pooled Trust. The money put into this account is not counted as income or resources for people with disabilities applying for Medicaid and can be used for supplemental needs above and beyond what is covered by Medicaid. The Center for Disability Rights, Inc. (CDR), a non-profit organization, has set up such a bank account, maintained by Canandaigua National Bank & Trust, allowing individuals with disabilities to qualify for Medicaid and still have the financial resources needed to live in the community. Although the funds are pooled together in the Trust, CDR maintains individual sub-accounts for each member.

I'm in need of interpreting services for my deaf child. Can I source help through CDR?

Center For Disability Rights | Sep 24, 2021
Center For Disability Rights | Sep 24, 2021

Yes, we offer help with interpreting services for people of all ages. We adhere to the Registry for Interpreters of the Deaf Code of Professional Conduct, and we are HIPAA compliant. Follow this link to fill out a formal request: https://cdrnys.org/interpreter-request-form/

I'm on Social Security Disability. Can CDR help me break my renter's lease agreement when an apartment becomes available in Senior Housing, without losing my security deposit?

You have to go in and speak to someone

I have disabilities and have a disability sticker in my car. When I pick up and drop off my granddaughters to their Mom's house (I have custody) her landlord makes me walk from a parking spot far back

short song singer | Sep 24, 2020
S Luther | Sep 24, 2020

As long as you have the sticker displayed in the window you should be able to park in a handicap spot, as long as you aren't going to be their long. I know the parking spots closest to the building are for tenants. That's how it is where I work.

Are there non-profits similar to CDR in Mississippi... I would like to see what is available for the individual with physical disabilities. Thank you

There is a CDR in Rochester NY located at 497 State St, Rochester, NY 14608.

Where do the funds come from to operate the consumer directed personal assistant services

Andrew Giegold | Sep 25, 2019
Stephanie Woodward | Sep 25, 2019

CDPAS is funded through Managed Care Companies, but ultimately the funds come from the State. We are always advocating for the State to increase funding so that attendants can have better wages.

My pittsford polling place has very poor access for anyone with a mobility disability. There are no reserved parking places. In fact, any space was far away from the door as the lot was pretty full. I was right there, but almost didn't vote.

Ann Ketter | Sep 25, 2019
Alice Osburn | Sep 25, 2019

You are not communicating with CDR .This is Google Maps and we are people who have been to the Center For Disabilities Rights. You need to call CDR. They are located on State Street in Rochester NY.

My husband can no longer work. What is he supposed to do while waiting to apply for social security disability?

Donna Ramirez | Sep 25, 2018
Joelle M | Sep 25, 2018

He shouldn't wait to apply, he should do it right away as the decision process can take a while and will most likely require collateral forms filled out by any Dr's and any other references that you'll need to sign releases of information for. And if he is denied his first time applying, it can take up to 2 years for an appeal hearing In the mean time, I suggest setting up and appointment with a benefit navigator or advocate ASAP. This way, he can get connected with health insurance, temporary financial assistance, SNAP, HEAP, transportation, and housing/rental help, if he is eligible for any/all of these. Also, if he is denied his SSI or SSD, I highly suggest using the services of Benefit Reps of America, located in Rochester (Greece) David Penrose to help with representation for his appeal He is the best of the best.

Where can I find a list of the paid holidays for attendants?
