NASHP Policy Report: Medicaid Structured Family Caregiving - Enabling Family Members to Make Caregiving Their Primary Focus
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) has released a policy report, "Medicaid Structured Family Caregiving: Enabling Family Members to Make Caregiving Their Primary Focus."
This policy brief is based on research and interviews with state staff and examines how Georgia, Missouri and South Dakota are using Medicaid-funded structured family caregiving (SFC) services to help older adults stay in their homes.
SFC services consist of a package of services that support someone’s primary caregiver, including payment, training, coaching, respite care and other support. Some states are looking to support family caregivers by covering SFC services in their Medicaid programs. These services enable Medicaid beneficiaries to receive the personal care they need in their home from someone they know and trust.
