Caring for a loved one in Pennsylvania? FreedomCare helps you understand your options — and how to get paid for the care you provide!
Who can I hire as a caregiver?
In Pennsylvania, you can hire someone you already know and trust to be your caregiver. This can include:
- An adult child
- Another relative
- A close friend
However, state rules do not allow legal spouses to be paid caregivers.
Am I eligible for paid family care in Pennsylvania?
You may be eligible if you:
- Have Medicaid
- Live in the Philadelphia area (Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Philadelphia, or Delaware counties)
- Live in the Pittsburgh area (Beaver, Washington, Butler, Allegheny, Northern Fayette, Armstrong, or Westmoreland counties)
- Need help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, meals, or mobility
FreedomCare can help you confirm eligibility and guide you through the next steps so you and your caregiver get the support you deserve.
Can I hire my spouse to be my caregiver in Pennsylvania?
No, Pennsylvania does not allow legal spouses to be paid caregivers under Medicaid programs. However, other family members — like an adult child, sibling, or close relative — may qualify, and FreedomCare can guide you through the steps so your loved one still gets care from someone they trust.
Can I be a paid caregiver for my mother or father in Pennsylvania?
Yes, you can be a paid caregiver for your parent in Pennsylvania if they qualify for Medicaid and need help with daily activities. FreedomCare will guide you through the enrollment process so you can care for your mom or dad at home while receiving reliable pay for the support you already provide.
Do I need Medicaid to qualify for caregiver pay in Pennsylvania?
Yes, Medicaid is required to qualify for caregiver pay in Pennsylvania. Medicare alone is not enough, but if you’re unsure about eligibility, FreedomCare can guide you through the Medicaid application process and help you find out if you qualify.
What Medicaid programs are available in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania offers several Medicaid waiver programs that allow family members to be paid caregivers. These include:
- Person/Family Directed Support (P/FDS) Waiver: Provides self-directed or agency-based services with an annual cost limit of $41,000 per person.
- OBRA Program: Supports individuals ages 18–59 with developmental disabilities who meet an ICF/IID level of care.
- Community HealthChoices Program: Serves adults 65+ and adults ages 21–64 with physical disabilities who need nursing facility-level care.
FreedomCare helps families navigate these programs so caregivers can get paid for the care they provide at home.
