Structured Family Caregiving

Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) is a Medicaid-funded program that supports family members who live with and provide daily care for individuals with disabilities or chronic illnesses. Through SFC, eligible caregivers receive financial compensation, training, and ongoing support to ensure high-quality, personalized care within the home environment. This approach not only acknowledges the vital role family caregivers play but also promotes the well-being and independence of care recipients in a familiar setting.

Key Benefits of Structured Family Caregiving

  • Financial Support: Caregivers receive a tax-free stipend for their services, alleviating some of the financial burdens associated with full-time caregiving.
  • Comprehensive Training: Tailored training programs equip caregivers with the necessary skills to meet the unique needs of their loved ones.
  • Respite Care: Access to respite services provides caregivers with essential breaks, supporting their health and well-being.
  • Professional Support: Ongoing coaching and assistance from healthcare professionals ensure caregivers are well-supported in their roles.
