Structured Family Caregiving With Advocates Home Health Care
If you are already providing health care for a family member you may qualify to get paid for your time.
Advocates Home Health Care is hiring people who want to become a caregiver for their elderly or disabled family member who are eligible for Medicaid Waiver or currently receive Medicaid Waiver benefits.
Did you know that most elderly family members prefer not to be placed in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, but want to remain in their own homes? They want to remain in the community, surrounded by their loved ones and friends, living safe and independent lives. Since friends and family are providing care and assistance to make this possible, they can now be reimbursed for their time and care given!
Additionally, most elderly immigrants who came to the United States as refugees may be qualified for Medicaid Waiver programming, which will allow them to stay in their own homes and be taken care of by their loved ones.
If you are interested in becoming a caregiver for your elderly or disabled loved one, we would love to speak to you. Fill out the form below to contact us.
Advocates Home Health Care also provides Skilled Home Health Care.
