Ohio's Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) program supports families caring for loved ones who need help with daily living. Eligible caregivers can receive compensation, training, and ongoing guidance while helping a family member remain safely at home.
Structured Family Caregiving is a service that allows family caregivers to receive compensation for providing care to a loved one at home. In order for a family to receive SFC support, there are eligibility requirements the caregiver and care recipient must meet. Additionally, SFC is only available through certified home care agencies like CareOasis that can provide the necessary training, support, and oversight to ensure safe, high-quality care.
Qualified Ohio families may receive up to $1,800 per month through Structured Family Caregiving. Final payment depends on eligibility, care needs, and waiver program requirements.

Ohio Structured Family Caregiving is typically connected to waiver pathways such as PASSPORT, MyCare Ohio, and Ohio Home Care. Final eligibility, service hours, and payment structure are determined through assessment, waiver enrollment, and care planning conducted by the Area Agency on Aging.
Many families ask whether spouses can be paid. In Ohio, this is possible in limited scenarios when strict program conditions are satisfied.
