Indiana Family Caregiver Program

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.

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 Mediaid 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.

In Indiana, we pay family caregivers that are a part of the Attendant Care Program $17 per hour on top of a $500 sign on bonus broken up over your first year as a caregiver — ensuring financial stability and advocating for competitive wages.
