Home Care in Indiana

How do I become a paid caregiver for a family member in Indiana?

A family member can become a caregiver in Indiana if they are 18 years or old and are not the spouse or guardian of the person in need of caregiving and must also pass a criminal background check. The Structured Family Caregiving (SFC), also known as Caregiver Homes of Indiana provides financial and supportive services for family and non-family caregivers.

Does Indiana Medicaid pay for home health care?

Yes. The Indiana Medicaid program pays for home health care and hospice and has other programs for in-home supports if people meet clinical eligibility requirements.

What is private pay home care?

Private pay home care differs from classic home care by the payment method. As the name “private pay” suggests, your loved one or their family will pay for home care services “out of the pocket” using existing savings or assets, or from a long-term care insurance policy.
