As our elderly loved ones become weak, we worry about how we can take care of them at home to keep them safe and healthy, and to prevent them from further hospitalization due to the worsening of their present medical conditions or accidents. When this need arises, we want to choose someone our loved ones trust and personally know to deliver the care they need, and most of the times, that can be us, their own family.
Caring for a loved one at home has its own advantages and disadvantages. Yes, we don’t have to worry about them as we can stay with them and assist them with everything they need if we decide to take care of them ourselves. But let’s be honest, we all know that in order to make this work, we need to allot time, effort, and let’s not forget money. We have to pay for additional expenses including groceries and other household supplies, usually leading to the caregivers not having enough savings for themselves.
Colorado Medicaid In-Home Support Services (IHSS) and Personal Care (PC) services come into the picture to assist in this concern. This can help pay for services not just for low-income elderly individuals, but also for blind or disabled individuals, those with brain injury and those suffering from mental illness. Through this program, family caregivers can be compensated for their service, and they can also receive the same benefits that caregivers under agencies usually receive including paid leaves, health insurance, life insurance, dental & vision insurance, 401k, and more! 
In Colorado, IHSS usually includes personal care services like assistance with bathing and grooming, and even household services such as meal preparation and housekeeping. Benefits, coverage, eligibility and rules differ from state to state.
Regardless if you’re already a family member taking care of a loved one, or if you’re just currently exploring your options, we have made a starting list of agencies in Colorado who can assist you. Navigating through all this can be overwhelming at first, and you can use this list to kick off your journey and to learn more about how you, and not just your loved one needing care, can benefit from these types of programs.
