FAMILY CAREGIVER VS HOST HOME CAREGIVER

Family Caregiver Responsibilities

Family Caregivers provide daily care and support for their adult loved one with a disability and qualified under the DD or NV ID/DD waiver, while living in the same home. Responsibilities may include assistance with bathing, dressing, meals, behavior support, medication administration, and attending medical appointments, supported community connection and more. Care is deeply personal and rooted in the ongoing parent-child or familial relationship. This is a contract position due to the nature of the waiver.

Compensation: Depends on the level of care necessary needed, but a family caregiver is paid for daily residential care, supportive community connection (meaningful outings), mileage and more. This could range from 3K to over 8K depending on level of care,

Host Home Provider Responsibilities

Host Home Providers welcome an adult with disabilities into their home and take on full caregiving responsibilities. This includes personal care, behavior support, daily living skills, meal prep, transportation, medication administration, documentation, and advocacy. Unlike Family Caregivers, Host Home Providers are not related to the individual and serve as independent contractors creating a supportive, long-term living environment.

Compensation: Depends on the level of care necessary needed, but a host home caregiver is paid for daily residential care, supportive community connection (meaningful outings), mileage and more. This could range from 3K to over 8K depending on level of care,
