Get Paid as a Family
Caregiver in Iowa
Caring for a loved one is one of the most meaningful things you can do—and in Iowa, you may be eligible to get paid for it. Through state-funded programs and CaringPays guidance, you can receive financial support while providing the care your loved one deserves.
Get Paid Through Iowa Waiver Programs
Iowa’s Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help individuals receive care in their homes rather than institutions. These programs allow family members to be compensated for their caregiving efforts while keeping loved ones comfortable and safe.
Elderly Waiver
Provides in-home care for seniors who need assistance with personal care and daily activities.
Health and Disability Waiver
Supports individuals with chronic illnesses or physical disabilities through paid family caregiving options.
Intellectual Disability (ID) Waiver
Offers in-home and community services for individuals with developmental disabilities, including care provided by family members.
