Structured Family Caregiving

Caring for a family member who resides with you can bring satisfaction, yet it can also pose difficulties and demand a significant amount of time. Were you aware that you might qualify for compensation for the care you provide?

Looking after a family member you live with can be a fulfilling experience, but it can also be challenging and time-consuming. Did you know that you may be eligible to receive payment for the care you provide?

The Structured Family Caregiving program (SFC) offers financial and support services to Georgia families that deliver care at home for a senior or disabled person. Family Care meets all the requirements of the SFC program and would be honored to support families that qualify for this service.

SFC Eligibility Assessment

We help determine if you meet SFC requirements and are eligible for financial compensation. You may qualify if you live with the person as the primary caregiver, are related biologically (e.g., daughter, grandson) or through marriage (e.g., daughter-in-law, son-in-law), and the person you care for is Georgia Medicaid-eligible and participates in the CCSP or SOURCE waiver program. Note that spouses of waiver participants or legal guardians are not eligible for compensation.

Caregiver Support Services

SFC offers payment to alleviate financial pressure and allow caregivers to focus solely on caregiving in the shared home environment. This service also provides tailored support to help caregivers meet participants' existing needs and plan for future changes in their needs and capabilities. Additionally, SFC offers backup caregiver support or respite care, which allows caregivers to attend to other essential tasks, including self-care, while ensuring the participant's safety.

Caregiver Oversight

Family Care, as an SFC agency, is responsible for ensuring that caregivers are qualified and trained to carry out their assigned duties effectively. We also guarantee that caregivers respond to changes in the participants' needs and complete their tasks as needed. As required by Georgia, we provide caregivers with web-based support tools for tracking information, such as daily notes that can be shared between the caregiver, care coordinator, and others. Additionally, we employ registered nurses who are available to answer caregivers' questions about their duties and who, along with each participant's care coordinator, visit the participant's home at least once a month to ensure that their needs are being met satisfactorily.
