Have you ever wondered about the difference between a Caretaker and a Caregiver? 🤔 At Paid Care, we get this question a lot and while the titles may seem similar, there are some key distinctions between the two roles! Caregivers typically have a more formal role, while caretakers are often seen as less formal. Both play crucial roles in providing care and support to those in need. Check out our latest article where we delve into the differences between caretakers and caregivers, as well as explore various payment options for both roles. 💙💼 Learn more at https://bit.ly/3UjyVdJ #Caregiver #Caretaker #PaidCare #Caregiving 🌟

Did you know that nearly 2 in 10 employed family caregivers have had to quit their jobs to care for a loved one? Women especially bear the burden of caring for older Americans in need of medical care and support.

Thank you, Elevate Ventures, for taking a risk on a small team of Hoosiers building the future of home care. 10,000+ people turn 65 every day and we simply don't have the infrastructure/staffing to handle the shift (Indiana isn't alone in this problem). Meanwhile, training family members to deliver care REDUCES costs by up to 40% and also substantially reduces hospitalization rates.

Did you know that hospital readmission rates are a massive cost incurred by state-funded Medicaid programs? Simultaneously, last year family caregivers in the US provided a staggering 36 billion hours of unpaid care, valued at $600 billion. At Paid Care, we believe that family caregivers are the perfect solution to this rising hospital admission problem. Check out our latest article to learn more about hospital readmissions and how family caregivers can make a difference: https://bit.ly/3TYKOW1 #PaidCare #FamilyCaregivers #HealthcareCosts #MedicaidPrograms

How familiar are you with the Structured Family Care Program? Structured Family Care (also known as SFC) is a state Medicaid program that pays family & friend caregivers a daily, tax-free stipend. Why are we proud to (very soon) add SFC to our list of agency services starting in our home state of Indiana? For one, in the short time SFC has existed, it's already proven to SAVE the state money (yes, paying family caregivers is cheaper than alternatives). Second, here's a quote from an Indiana Age & Disabled Waiver program manager we recently spoke with: "Caregivers love the oversight they receive from our SFC Agency providers when it comes to timely payment, caregiver burnout, and just being overwhelmed in the whole process of being a caregiver." While we're still advocating for LRI (parent) caregivers in Indiana to remain on the Attendant Care program, Structured Family Caregiving has proven to be an incredible program for our state's aging seniors. Learn more about SFC and the role agencies play in our newest article: https://bit.ly/3Vxi08r #StructuredFamilyCare #FamilyCaregivers #IndianaCaregiving #SFCProgram #MedicaidProgram #CaregiverSupport #AgencyServices.
