How do I get paid to care for a family member?

Through Medicaid family caregiver programs, eligible individuals can designate a family member, friend, or trusted person as their paid caregiver. The caregiver receives weekly payments, health benefits, and paid time off. To qualify, the care recipient must have Medicaid coverage and need assistance with daily living activities.

What states offer paid family caregiver programs?

The Home Care Agency serves 16 states: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. Each state has its own Medicaid-funded family caregiver program.

Do I need experience to be a paid family caregiver?

No prior caregiving experience is required. Family members, friends, and trusted individuals can become paid caregivers. Training and support are provided through the program.
