South Dakota’s Medicaid-funded Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) program is one of the care options available under the HOPE waiver. It allows people who need personal care at home to choose a family member who lives in the same home as their principal caregiver, who will receive a stipend for providing care.
If you are eligible for Medicaid and a HOPE waiver, and you require assistance with personal care, you’re probably eligible for SFC. To receive care from a principal caregiver who lives with you, you must be at least 65 years of age or at least 18 years of age with a qualifying disability, able to live independently with help from a caregiver, require a nursing-facility level of care, and need one or more home care services at least once each month.
A family member who lives in the same home, can pass a background check, and is the primary person responsible for providing daily care can become a principal caregiver through the CDS program. Both the principal caregiver and the person receiving care must be at least 18 years old. Principal caregivers are also required to pass an assessment for capability of providing care and to receive coaching.
