If you are eligible for Medicaid and need assistance with day-to-day activities, Compassionate Assistance allows you to hire a trusted family member or friend as your caregiver. This program provides a seamless way to receive the care you deserve while keeping things close to home. In certain states, you can choose from loved ones such as children, relatives, or friends to provide care, and they will be compensated for their time. It is simple, reliable, and offers a win-win situation for everyone.
