Caregiver

Overview

There are thousands of Georgia Medicaid members who receive care from family members at home. For a long time, the hard work performed by family caregivers was neither acknowledged nor compensated, but recently, things have changed. Eligible family caregivers are now able to receive payment for the services that they are providing to Medicaid care recipients who would otherwise be placed in nursing homes if not for the care provided for free by loved ones.

Caring Hands United is proud to be a provider of Medicaid home care waiver services that allow for family caregivers to be paid, including the Structured Family Caregiver program and the Family Hire program.

Family Caregiver Pay Options

Family members caring for Georgia Medicaid members may be eligible to receive payment under Georgia Medicaid's Structured Family Caregiver (SFC) program or Family Hire (FH) program. Care recipients must be eligible for Medicaid home care waiver services like CCSP, SOURCE, or ICWP.

In some special circumstances, members receiving service under the COMP or NOW waivers may also be able to utilize Family Hire. Annual re-approval is required in such cases.
