Trying to Understand How Medicaid Covers Home Care in Chicago? We Break It Down.
In this episode, we explain how the Illinois Medicaid Paid Caregiver Program works—especially if you're looking to become a caregiver for your elderly parent or loved one. While the process may seem confusing at first, we simplify how Medicaid, care coordination units (CCUs), and home care agencies like AUAF work together to make in-home caregiving possible.
You’ll learn:
- How Illinois Medicaid helps cover home care—even if indirectly
- What role Home Care Powered by AUAF plays in the caregiver process
- How to become a paid caregiver for your parent or loved one
- What to do if your loved one doesn’t qualify for Medicaid
- How CCUs assess eligibility and what the typical requirements are
- Why working with an agency simplifies everything from training to pay
- The benefits of AUAF’s $20/hour pay rate and continued caregiver support
If you’re in Chicago or anywhere in Illinois and wondering if you can care for your parent at home while earning a fair wage, this episode has the answers.
