“Mom is getting stronger, and it feels so good”

We brought in a couple of aides for my mother, but I could tell she wasn’t happy. Now I get to care for Mom daily — and she’s smiling and laughing. I feel really good, knowing she’s getting stronger each day.

“Her face lit up”

I was in between jobs, looking for a new one. I thought: ‘What’s going to happen to my mom while I️’m at work all day?' When I told her I’d be caring for her everyday, her face lit up. It was a thrilling moment for me.

“I'm gonna make 90”

I didn’t want an aide; I don’t get along well with strangers. My daughter knows me and loves me; she looks right past my attitude. With her as my aide, I think I’m gonna hit 90. You watch. I’m gonna be the first one in my family to make 90.

“A blessing”

I have multiple sclerosis. After my second hospitalization, I realized I needed help. To have my best friend be here for me is a blessing. My caseworker, Ashley, is very helpful — I feel comfortable calling anytime. And having someone I trust work for me keeps my mind at ease.

Real people, real stories

See how FreedomCare has helped change lives like yours.

How it works

Getting paid to care for a loved one shouldn’t be complicated.

STEp 1

Get assessed

After your doctor completes a medical form, a nurse will contact you and determine how many hours of care you can get each week.

STEp 2

Choose a caregiver

You choose your caregiver: your daughter, son, relative, or friend. We help you enroll in the program. 

STEp 3

You get care — they get paid

You get ongoing care from a person who loves you. They get peace of mind — because they’re getting paid for the care they give.

“Not a stranger”

I like that I have someone I know helping me — not a stranger, who would have to get to know my likes and dislikes. The staff is courteous and friendly, and they always answer my questions.

“It's a win-win”

I’m an entrepreneur. Being there for my mom did not allow me to generate the income I needed, so getting financial assistance while taking care of her is a win-win.
