01How it works

Three simple steps.

From your first call to your first paycheck — we stay with you the whole way.

  1. Step 01

    Tell us about your loved one

    Fill out the short form or call us. It takes about two minutes, and there's no obligation.

  2. Step 02

    We guide you through eligibility & enrollment

    We explain the steps in plain language, help with forms, and keep things moving.

  3. Step 03

    Start getting paid to care

    Once approved, you keep caring for your loved one — and get paid for the approved hours you work.

02Your first call

What to expect on the first call

  • A friendly, no-pressure conversation — about 10–15 minutes
  • Questions about your loved one's daily needs and living situation
  • A quick check on Medicaid coverage (it's okay if you're not sure)
  • Clear next steps, in plain language
