Many family members are already helping a parent, spouse, or loved one with daily needs. In some Medicaid-funded programs, an approved family member, friend, or trusted caregiver may be able to get paid for providing that care. We help families understand whether this may be an option and what steps are needed to get started.

Consumer-directed care gives eligible individuals more choice and control over who provides their care. Instead of being assigned someone they do not know, the person receiving care may be able to choose a trusted caregiver, including a family member or friend, depending on the state and program rules. We help guide families through the process.

Caregiving can be meaningful, but it can also be overwhelming. Families often need help understanding paperwork, program rules, caregiver enrollment, and what to do next. Care at Home supports caregivers with clear communication, practical guidance, and a team that helps make the process easier to manage.
