Care From Someone You Know and Trust.

Our Family Caregiver Program helps families explore whether an eligible relative may be considered for employment as a caregiver through Avani Home Care.

  • Personalized, nonmedical assistance at home
  • Consideration of eligible family caregivers for agency employment
  • Individual care planning and caregiver supervision
  • Private-pay service arrangements

Important Information

Understanding Private-Pay Family Caregiving.

Avani's family caregiver option is intended for families purchasing nonmedical home care services privately. An eligible family member may apply for agency employment, but this is not a guarantee of employment, services or payment.

  • Families pay Avani under an agreed private-pay service arrangement.
  • Prospective caregivers must satisfy applicable screening, hiring and training requirements.
  • Agency employees are supervised and compensated through the agency.
  • Relatives can also make lawful caregiving arrangements independently of Avani; agency employment is not automatically required.
  • Medicare, Medicaid and other programs have separate rules; this private-pay offering does not promise public reimbursement.
Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Families Often Ask.

Can I be paid to care for a parent or family member?

A relative may be considered for caregiver employment if an appropriate arrangement is available and the person meets agency hiring and other applicable requirements. Employment is not guaranteed.

Do I need previous caregiving experience?

Experience can be helpful, but each applicant is reviewed against the agency's current qualifications, screening and training requirements.

Will Avani provide caregiver training?

Caregivers hired through the agency must complete applicable onboarding, orientation and training. Ask our team for the requirements relevant to the role.

Is this service covered by Medicare or Medicaid?

This page describes a private-pay service. Any government-funded caregiver programs are separate and have their own eligibility and provider rules.

Must a family member become an Avani employee to provide care?

No. Families may make independent caregiving arrangements when lawful. Those arrangements are separate from Avani's agency-managed services.
