Real People, Real Changes
Patricia Charles
“Best program ever”
I’ve had aides in the past, but it always ended badly. This is one of the best programs ever. I’m so happy that my niece is helping me.
Richard Branker
“Mom is getting stronger, and it feels so good”
We brought in a couple of aides for my mother, but I could tell she wasn’t happy. Now I get to care for Mom daily — and she’s smiling and laughing. I feel really good, knowing she’s getting stronger each day.
Elizabeth Salley
“Her face lit up!”
It was hard, because I didn’t want to leave my mom at home – I was scared she’d leave the stove on or get hurt. And you only get one mother. Now I get to have a job AND care for my mom at once. It’s literally PERFECT.

Get Paid to Take Care of a Family Member
The Missouri Medicaid Home Care initiative allows consumers to choose and hire their own personal caregiver. This includes friends and family members (as long as they are not the patient’s spouse). Which means….You can care for a family member and get paid!
No one can take care of you like family or close friends. To them your health is more than just a job. Of course, you don’t want to be a burden to your loved ones. That’s where the Medicaid Home Care Program comes in. After you enroll, your chosen caregiver will get paid for taking care of you.
You must use a Fiscal Intermediary to ensure your chosen caregiver gets paid. Freedomcare is the leading fiscal intermediary in the state and will help guide you through the process.
