Family Paid Caregiver Program

Family Paid Caregiver Programs may allow eligible family members to provide care while receiving compensation through approved Medicaid or state-sponsored programs. These programs recognize the important role families already play in supporting loved ones at home. Navigating eligibility requirements and paperwork can feel overwhelming without guidance. Our team helps families understand the process while coordinating services according to program requirements. We work alongside clients, caregivers, and care managers to help create a smooth transition into approved services.

• Care plans are developed around the individual’s approved support needs.
• Families receive guidance throughout the enrollment and care coordination process.
