Yes, you may be able to get paid to take care of a family member through the state’s Medicaid program. They have a program called Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) and Community Alternatives Program for Children (CAP/C) that provides payments to family members who care for Medicaid recipients. You will need to meet certain eligibility requirements and complete the necessary paperwork to apply for this benefit. To get started today, please fill out the form below!

A caregiver provides seniors and other adults assistance at home to ensure their physical well-being and social health. Caregivers provide companionship, personal care, and other quality of life services. This can include mobility and safety assistance, help with meals and housekeeping, transportation to appointments and social events, as well as activities that encourage engagement, purpose, connection and joy.

We carefully screen and interview potential caregivers. We verify their references and conduct background checks on them. A major milestone in our hiring criteria involves verifying that applicants share these same principles too–we simply want those who can caretake elders like family members should! We are not only looking for the care skills and professionalism necessary to perform the job, but also the respect and compassion for others that sets us apart from other home care agencies. 

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) describe basic tasks essential for day-to-day functioning. These include bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, mobility and toileting. Many seniors who require help with such activities are largely independent but may require help with one or two ADLs.

Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) are those activities that are important in enhancing a client’s quality of life. IADLs include shopping, household chores (cleaning, laundry), and meal preparation.
