About Medicaid and Medicare

Paid family caregiving is usually funded by Medicaid. Medicare alone typically does not qualify. If your loved one doesn't have Medicaid yet, reach out anyway — we can explain the general steps. Pay rates and program rules can vary — we'll explain what applies to your family during your free eligibility check.
