Who We Are

First State Caregivers is being built to serve a growing need in Delaware; support for family caregivers who are caring for loved ones at home. Many families already provide daily care for parents, spouses, or relatives often without guidance, resources, or financial support.

This website exists to:

  • Educate families about paid family caregiver options

  • Answer common questions

  • Share guidance and resources

  • Help families prepare for available programs


​We are proud to be Delaware-based and deeply rooted in community values.

The Basics: What Is Family-Centered Non-Medical Home Care?

Non-medical home care focuses on daily living support, not clinical or medical services.​

Family-centered care means:

  • Families remain together at home

  • Loved ones receive care from people they trust

  • Caregivers receive guidance, education, and support

  • Eligible caregivers may receive compensation through approved programs​

Common areas of non-medical home care include:

  • Companionship and supervision

  • Personal care assistance

  • Daily living support

  • Mobility and safety assistance

  • Caregiver education and resources

Can Family Members Get Paid to Care for Loved Ones in Delaware?

Delaware offers caregiver support and consumer-directed care programs that may allow eligible family members to be compensated for providing non-medical care at home.

 

​​Eligibility depends on specific program requirements.​​

Documentation & caregiver guidelines, orientation, resources and periodic home supervisions will be provided.
