Which one are you?
I'm caring for a family member
You're already doing the work — looking after someone you love. Medicaid can pay you for the hours you're giving, and we'll handle the enrollment so you and your loved one don't have to.
I want a loved one to care for me
A family member or friend already looks after you, or could. Medicaid can pay them for it, so the person you trust can be there for you. We'll get you both enrolled.
I want to switch agencies
Already enrolled but feeling let down by your current agency? Switching to Careway takes minutes. Your caregiver stays the same — only the paperwork and the support change.

What caregivers do
The sacred, daily work that keeps someone home
Personal care
Bathing, dressing, grooming, medication reminders — the intimate, vulnerable moments that matter most. This is the kind of help that's nearly impossible with a stranger but feels natural with family, handled with gentleness, respect, and patience.
Household tasks
Cooking the meals they actually love, cleaning the way they prefer it done, managing laundry and grocery shopping. These are the things that slip when you're managing everything else alone, but they're what keeps the house feeling like home.
Companionship
Accompanying them to doctor's appointments where you can advocate, running errands they can't manage alone, having real conversations and sharing laughter. Being there so they're not isolated all day — this is what keeps someone's spirit alive.

Get care from those you love
Careway pays family members to be your caregiver. You stay home with someone you trust. They earn income for showing up.
We can connect you with trained caregivers
Not everyone has loved ones nearby who are able to care for them. In select areas, we connect families with professional caregivers who provide compassionate, skilled in-home care. We match you thoughtfully with caregivers who fit your needs and personality.
We focus primarily on the family caregiver model because research shows it works better when possible. But when it's not possible, we can help you find reliable, caring professional support.
You deserve to stay home. We'll help make that happen.
Credentialed by the state. Trusted by the families we serve.
The care comes from your family, someone you already trust. Everything else is on us: Medicaid enrollment, weekly payroll, paperwork, long-term support. Here's the proof that you're choosing a company built to handle that side, week in and week out.

Your questions, answered
How much do family caregivers earn?
Caregivers can earn up to $1,500 per week through Pennsylvania Medicaid. Exact weekly earnings depend on approved care hours and your specific program.
How long does the enrollment process take?
New enrollments typically take 6–8 weeks from the initial call to starting care and receiving the first paycheck.
Can caregivers get paid daily?
Yes. While weekly direct deposit is standard, caregivers can choose daily pay or instant pay after each shift.
Who can be a paid family caregiver?
Adult children, siblings, extended family members, and close friends can qualify. Legal powers of attorney cannot.
What if we don't have Medicaid yet?
We can help you understand if you qualify and connect you with resources to apply. Many families qualify and don't realize it.
Do caregivers need certification or training?
No certification required. We provide any necessary training after enrollment.
What if we're already enrolled with another agency?
You can transfer to Careway easily. Agency switches typically complete within 24–48 hours — we handle all the paperwork and there's zero gap in payment or care.
I'm a caregiver working with a client through another agency. Can I bring my client with me if I switch to Careway?
Yes. Your client has the right to choose their home care agency, and if they want to move to Careway with you, we make that happen. You enroll with Careway first, and once you're onboarded, we request the MCO authorization on your client's behalf. Call us and we'll walk you through it.
Does the person receiving care pay anything out of pocket?
No. If they qualify for Pennsylvania Medicaid, the program covers the cost of family caregiver services completely.
What kind of care qualifies for payment?
Personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming), household support (meals, cleaning, laundry), and companionship (appointments, errands, being present).
