Simple and Supportive

Friends & Family Caregivers makes it easy on me as a caregiver. They've spent a lot of time helping me figure out things I used to have to figure out on my own. They were able to make the paperwork a breeze by setting it up on my smart-phone. I wish I'd known about this program years ago!

Am I a Caregiver?

If you live with and care for someone that has a disability or illness that requires help with things like bathing, feeding, transfers, moving safely around the home, transportation, help with cleaning or other household items, you are a caregiver.

If the individual you care for is eligible for Indiana Medicaid Waiver services, you could be eligible for this program.

Our Priorities

Providing Support for Caregivers

Providing the care necessary to keep a loved one at home can be daunting. That's where we come in! Friends and Family Caregivers is here to ensure you are never alone. Participants and Caregivers get access to a dedicated care team consisting of a Nurse, Care Coach, and administrative support. Your team will work with you, getting to know you and the person you care for, allowing us to implement a care plan specific to individual needs. As things change, your care team will be there to work with and support you in creating better healthcare outcomes for your loved one.

Educating Caregivers

Empowering caregivers through education is fundamental. Ongoing programs provide caregivers with the necessary skills and knowledge to manage the specific needs of their care recipients. These programs cover disease management, specialized care techniques, communication strategies, self-care practices and many other topics. Online resources, workshops, and support groups are available to facilitate continuous learning and skill development for caregivers. Our ultimate goal is to foster confidence and competence in the caregiving role.

Engaging With Health Sectors

Collaboration between caregivers and healthcare providers is pivotal in creating a cohesive support system. Establishing partnerships between caregivers, healthcare providers, community organizations, and policymakers can foster a supportive ecosystem. This collaboration can lead to policies prioritizing caregiver support, allocating resources effectively, and promoting initiatives to improve the overall caregiver experience.

It Pays to Care! 

Whether you care for a loved one due to age, disability, or medical condition, we help you discover ways to optimize their care and your well-being. A weekly tax-free stipend ensures that your financial stability remains intact.
