Structured Family Caregiving
An alternative to nursing-home care, so your loved one stays where they're most comfortable, and the family member already doing the caring gets paid for it.
What it is
The program, defined.
Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) is a program in Georgia that provides an alternative to nursing home care, allowing a person to remain at home while a family member or close friend serves as the paid primary caregiver. It supports the caregiver with a monthly stipend, a dedicated care team, and training, so loved ones stay where they're most comfortable.
Who qualifies
The 6 qualification criteria.
A quick read on whether SFC fits your family. Not sure on one? That's exactly what the free call is for.
Medicaid eligibility
The care recipient must be enrolled in (or eligible for) Georgia Medicaid under a CCSP or SOURCE waiver.
Functional / medical need
The care recipient has a functional disability or medical condition requiring daily assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, mobility, etc.).
Family caregiver requirement
The caregiver is a family member or close friend, 18 or older, and able to provide the needed care.
Residency & employment
The caregiver lives in the same home as the care recipient and provides care as their primary focus (not working a separate full-time job that prevents caregiving).
Relationship of caregiver
The caregiver may not be the spouse or legal guardian of the care recipient (Georgia Medicaid rule).
Background check
The caregiver must pass a background screening.
