Who is a PAID family caregiver?

A family caregiver is someone who is tasked with caring for another family member. This may be due to a relative's illness or accident that requires them to stay at home and ask for assistance. Being a family caregiver is a wonderful but demanding task. Being an adult caring for a parent means that you must juggle all of your other responsibilities along with tending to all the needs of your parent. Caregiving can take a toll on mental and physical health. The best way to ensure health for yourself and for your loved one is to request help from a home service provider.

For patients on WAIVER SERVICES being paid while giving care to their family members helps the caregiver reduce the stress of having to go and look elsewhere for financial support or employment and lets them focus on ensuring their family member is adequately taken care of.
