This guide covers elder care coordination and caregiver support specific to Indiana (IN). Laws, programs, and resources vary by state, and this page focuses on what Indiana residents need to know.
Medicaid Programs
Indiana's Medicaid program offers home and community-based services (HCBS) waivers that can pay family caregivers. These programs let elderly and disabled Indiana residents receive care at home instead of in a nursing facility.
Eligibility for Indiana HCBS waivers depends on the care recipient's medical needs and financial situation. Contact your local Indiana Area Agency on Aging for help applying.
Caregiver Support
Indiana offers caregiver support programs through the National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP). Services include respite care, counseling, support groups, and caregiver training.
The Indiana Area Agency on Aging coordinates these services at the local level. They can connect you with Indiana-specific programs for respite care, adult day services, and home modifications.
