Approved caregivers receive a Basic Subsidy to reimburse some of their expenses each month for caring for three (3) or fewer elders, living in private homes for any part of the month. A Special Subsidy to reimburse costs for other necessary pre-authorized medical or health care services, supplies, or equipment needed to maintain the health and well-being of the client/recipient may be paid when not covered by Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance.
