Structured Family Caregiving (HOPE Waiver)

Structured Family Caregiving is a HOPE Waiver service where an older adult or adult with a disability lives with a principal caregiver, such as a family member or friend, who provides daily care. A Medicaid-enrolled SFC provider agency coaches the caregiver and passes part of a daily Medicaid payment to them as a stipend. The caregiver is not an agency employee.
