Looking to Be an In-Home Caregiver in Illinois?

Oftentimes as our loved ones grow older, we begin to take on tasks for them. These include helping with laundry, basic grooming, meal preparation, or even transportation to and from places. These are the exact types of tasks that are performed by an in-home caregiver.

Because these tasks can often be time-consuming, opting for a full-time or part-time job as a caregiver for your loved one may be the best option for you. Caregiving is no easy task. So, we want to answer any questions you may have along the way.

Become a Paid Caregiver for A Family Member

Federal and state governments have recognized the value of having family members serve as paid caregivers for elderly people for some time. Back in the mid-1990s, trial government programs called “Cash and Counseling” were created in a few states in the Medicaid fund system.

The Medicaid office, known as the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS[DM1] ) determined that because family members were often acting as unpaid caregivers and were unable to balance having a full-time job with taking care of their elderly relatives, there was an opportunity to solve two problems at once by providing financial assistance to family caregivers.

In the years since, the term “cash and counseling” has been replaced in many places by “consumer-directed care” or “self-directed care.” In Illinois, the Cash and Counseling Program is now part of the Community Care Program through the Illinois Department on Aging.
