What Is Structured Family Caregiving (SFC)?

Structured Family Caregiving is an Indiana Medicaid-funded program that allows eligible individuals to receive care at home from a trusted family member. Through Almost Kin, caregivers receive a tax-free daily stipend while providing consistent, structured support.

  • Those who need help with daily living activities (bathing, dressing, meals, mobility, supervision)

  • Individuals who can safely live in a home setting

 

How Medicaid Works with SFC

Medicaid covers the cost of care through the SFC program. Instead of paying for traditional agency-based services, Medicaid funds allow a qualified family caregiver to provide care in the home under the guidance and oversight of Almost Kin.

 

Who Can Be a Paid Caregiver?

  • Adult children

  • Siblings

  • Other close family members
    (State guidelines apply.)
