When an individual assumes the responsibility of caring for a loved one, they often take on a daunting task. These caregivers are faced with a number of obstacles including a lack of an easily accessible caregiving education, a lack of the relevant knowledge required to deliver a high-level care experience, and the insecurity that follows. Ida’s Personal Care Service, LLC provides Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) services that allow a principal caregiver, who lives together with the Indiana Aged & Disabled Waiver participant, to receive financial compensation, hands-on educational resources, and general support. This allows the caregiver to deliver a high-level care experience based on the participant’s daily care needs and activities of daily living.
SFC services include all of the services associated with Attendant Care in addition to the following services to be provided by the principal caregiver:
- Accompanying the recipient to necessary appointments
