The Background

What Is Structured Family Caregiving?

A little-known Indiana Medicaid program that helps eligible family caregivers receive compensation while caring for a loved one at home.

  1. 1.SFC is a Medicaid-funded program that helps eligible older adults (and individuals with disabilities) receive care at home from a family member or other trusted caregiver.
  2. 2.The program is designed to help individuals remain safely at home, maintain independence, and avoid unnecessary placement in a nursing facility when home-based care is appropriate.
  3. 3.Participants work with an approved Structured Family Caregiving provider, such as Tender Home Care, which offers caregiver coaching, nurse oversight, documentation support, and ongoing guidance throughout the program.
  4. 4.Instead of navigating complex program requirements on your own, you can focus on what matters most - caring for your loved one.
