The Lighthouse Program
If you're caring for a loved one and Medicaid is not an option, consider The Lighthouse Program. This program allows family caregivers to get paid for doing daily activities for their loved ones who are 60 or older. These duties include housekeeping, meals, and personal care/hygiene. Not all counties support The Lighthouse Program.
The Ron Yost Personal Assistance Services Program
Another non-Medicaid supported program that may help you get paid for the family caregiving services you provide is the Ron Yost Personal Assistance Services Program. This is a consumer-funded program that assists disabled people for a set amount of time or above a certain age to get help with daily living activities. The applicant must meet certain criteria to qualify.
Veterans Benefits
Under the Program for Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers, or PCAFC, you can be paid a monthly stipend for caring for your veteran loved one. The amount varies from state to state, so see if you qualify and how much your stipend could be here.
West Virginia has many valuable resources for family caregivers to use so they can get paid for the chores, housekeeping, errands, transportation, and medical care they provide for their loved ones.
