For families

Family Caregiver Options

Many families ask whether a relative can be paid to care for a loved one at home. It is a fair question, and the honest answer is that it depends. Here is what we can and cannot tell you up front.

What we can say honestly

The Straight Answer

  • Some programs may allow eligible family members to be compensated for providing care.
  • Eligibility depends on the individual, the caregiver relationship, program requirements, and other factors.
  • Embracing Arms can discuss your family's situation and explain potential next steps.
  • Contacting the agency does not guarantee approval, enrollment, coverage, or payment.

We won't promise an outcome we can't control. What we can do is listen, explain what we know, and help you understand what to ask next.

How it works

Three Simple Steps

  1. Tell us about your family's needs

    Share who needs support, what a typical day looks like, and who in the family hopes to help.

  2. Discuss possible eligibility and next steps

    We talk through what may be available and what questions still need answers.

  3. Complete any required program or onboarding process if eligible

    If a path forward exists, we walk you through what that process involves.

Ask Us Whether a Family Member May Qualify

Bring your questions. Tell us who needs care, who wants to help, and what a normal week looks like. We'll be clear about what we know and what still needs to be confirmed.
