Get Paid to take Care of your Loved One!

 

If you're one of more than 70 million people who provide unpaid caregiving for a family member or friend -- either in that person's home or in your own -- you know that the time and energy burden can be enormous. In fact, you may have cut back or given up your paying job. Your smaller (or now nonexistent) paycheck may be pinching you hard. If so, it might be possible for you to get a regular payment for your caregiving work.

​

Here's how: If the parent, spouse, or other person you're caring for is eligible for Medicaid, its Cash and Counseling program, available in some states, can provide direct payments that could go to you.  Also, if the person you're caring for has long-term care insurance that includes in-home care coverage, in some cases those benefits can be used to pay you.

​

Based on some qualifications, we can also train your family member to become a Personal Care Worker for you or your loved one. This ensures that the care procedures we administer to your family member are executed properly. Consequently, you can have more confidence in your own home knowing that someone is caring for your loved one.
