Check If You’re Eligible —>
Attendant Care Program
Indiana's Attendant Care Program is a valuable state benefit designed to provide families on Medicaid’s Aged & Disabled Waiver (A&D) and the Traumatic Brain Injury Waiver (TBI) with daily activities but do not wish to reside in a long-term care facility. This program enables relatives, such as adult children, to serve as caregivers and receive compensation for the services they provide. However, it's important to note that caregivers need not be related to the care recipients; friends, in-laws, or neighbors can also become caregivers under this program.
Who Is Eligible for Attendant Care?
1. Be an Indiana Hoosier
You must live in the State of Indiana.
2. Live Near or With Your Caregiver
For the Attendant Care Program, your caregiver just needs to live nearby. You do NOT have to live in the same home as the Caregiver
3. Have Medicaid and Get On a Waiver
Be eligible for Medicaid or already have Medicaid while meeting financial/asset requirements for the Medicaid’s Aged & Disabled Waiver. (Don’t worry! The Paid.care team can help!)
Paid.care provides the support, training, and payment to Attendant Caregivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Personal Care and Attendant Care Program Questions
-
Paid.care provides payment, professional training, coaching, emotional, and financial support for families caring for loved one.
-
Clinical Eligibility:
To determine if you require home care, it's essential to assess your specific needs. While the technical aspects of clinical eligibility can be intricate, we strongly advise you to self-assess your need for home care before proceeding with an application.
Financial Eligibility:
Financial eligibility is categorized into two primary components: income and assets.
Income refers to regular earnings, such as Social Security or a Pension.
Assets encompass the consumer's available resources, such as funds in bank accounts.
For unmarried consumers, eligibility is established if their monthly income falls below $1,215, and their assets amount to less than $2,000. Married consumers have slightly higher thresholds. It's worth noting that individuals with incomes exceeding these limits may still qualify for services. So, don't be disheartened if you don't meet these specific criteria.
Determining financial eligibility can be a complex process, and we haven't detailed every possible scenario. However, it's important to recognize that individuals who assume they are financially ineligible may be doing themselves a disservice. In many instances, applying for assessment can be worthwhile, as you may discover that you do indeed qualify. At the very least, it will provide valuable insights into your options. Furthermore, some individuals may find it beneficial to seek professional guidance to explore their eligibility possibilities.
