What Is The Indiana Family Caregiver Program?
The Indiana Family Caregiver Program is funded by Medicaid and supported by a Medicaid waiver. It provides pay for caregivers who live with and assist a loved one. Services reduce the need for nursing homes, residential care, or assisted living by offering care at home.

Indiana Family Caregivers Questions

What do you do for caregivers?
Paid.care provides payment, professional training, coaching, emotional, and financial support for families caring for a loved one.
Who is Eligible?
In Indiana, those who live in the home of a loved one on Medicaid or the Age & Disabled Waiver qualifies. Eligible family members include: spouses, legal guardians, children, and more. Clinical Eligibility: To determine eligibility requirements, it's essential to assess your specific needs. While the technical aspects of clinical eligibility can be intricate, we strongly advise you to self-assess your need for long-term care. Typically, eligibility requires nursing home level of care. Financial Eligibility: The state categorizes financial eligibility into two primary components: income and assets. Income refers to regular earnings, such as Social Security or a Pension. Assets encompass the consumer's available resources, such as funds in bank accounts. Unmarried consumers establish eligibility if their monthly income falls below $1,215 and their assets amount to less than $2,000. Married consumers have slightly higher thresholds. It's worth noting that individuals with incomes exceeding these limits may still qualify for services. So, if you don't meet these specific criteria, don't be disheartened. Determining financial eligibility can be a complex process, and we haven't detailed every possible scenario. However, it's important to recognize that individuals who assume they are not qualified may be doing themselves a disservice. In many instances, applying for assessment can be worthwhile, as you may discover that you do indeed qualify! Furthermore, some individuals may find it beneficial to seek professional guidance to explore their eligibility possibilities. At Paid.care, our primary caregivers must pass a criminal background check and be 18 years of age or older. They also receive training and coaching to assist with activities of daily living and provide the highest level of care.
What does the program cost?
If you have Medicaid, training and support is covered by Paid.care and is at no cost to you or your loved one. Select Medicare and Medicaid plans cover the cost of Paid.care training and support for their members. Our program allows families to live a healthy and happy life in their own homes. In Indiana, anyone with Medicaid or eligible for a Medicaid Waiver (that could be you) qualifies to receive payment.
How much do family caregivers get paid?
In Indiana, we pay family caregivers that are a part of the Attendant Care Program $18-20+ per hour — the highest family caregiver pay rates in the state, ensuring financial stability and advocating for competitive wages. Call us at 812-247-6017 to discuss our SFC pay rates (also highest in the state).
What happens if I don’t have Medicaid or an HCBS waiver?
Our care team eases insurance frustrations by assisting with Medicaid, Medicare Transitions, and Medicaid Waiver applications while ensuring you receive maximum benefits. If you’re hesitant or unsure, call our care experts at 812-247-6017 to discuss your options!
I’m not tech savvy. Will I be able to use your app?
Through our partnership with the Roo Work app, we’ve simplified communication, allowing easy note-sharing with care experts. Compatible with smartphones, tablets, and computers.
What areas do you currently serve?
Paid.care is currently able to serve the entire state of Indiana for the SFC Program. We proudly locate ourselves in Bloomington, IN and Indianapolis, IN. We’re in the process of growing our services to Georgia, Tennessee, and Ohio!
Which Indiana programs can you provide?
Paid.care is active in Indiana for Structured Family Caregiving (SFC), Attendant Care (ATTC), and Family HHA/CNA. You can check eligibility for these programs now.
What will training be like?
Our caregiver programs combine virtual and in-person training to ensure you’re completely comfortable caring for your adult or child family member confidently at home. During onboarding, we will address mobile app login training, family care training, and more financial assistance training.
How much and from what method will I get paid?
You’ll keep track of your caregiving hours in the Paid.care mobile app and get paid weekly via direct deposit. For SFC and Attendant Care, your case manager at your local division of aging (AAA) will decide whether you qualify for Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3. Our programs pay your personal care caregiver or respite care caregiver a daily stipend or hourly rate.
What will be your caregiving responsibilities?
You’ll work with a care manager or coach at Paid.care to understand your caregiving responsibilities. Typically these include help with ADLs, Homemaker, emotional support, and more support services or care services.
