Paid Family Caregiver Program from Trinity Home Assistance
A paid family caregiver program is any arrangement that pays a relative or friend for care they are already giving. Most run through state Medicaid, so what is available, and whether a spouse or parent can be the one paid, depends entirely on the state.
