Wondering If You Can Get Paid to Care for a Loved One? Many States Say Yes.
In this episode, we dive into a question more families are asking every year: Do any states pay family caregivers? The answer might surprise you. With growing demand and new Medicaid-based programs across the country, millions of Americans are now eligible to receive financial support for caring for elderly loved ones.
You’ll learn:
- Which states offer paid caregiver programs for family members
- How Illinois supports caregivers through the Community Care Program
- What “consumer-directed” or “self-directed” care means for your family
- The steps to qualify and access caregiver training in your state
- How a home care agency can guide you through the process with ease
- What to expect once you’re approved—including paid hourly support
- Why family caregivers are essential to helping seniors age in place
If you’re helping your parent or relative stay safe and independent at home, this episode will help you understand your rights—and how to receive the support you deserve.
