Yes! Virginia's CCC Plus Waiver program allows adult children to get paid for caring for their parents.

What's the difference between agency-directed and consumer-directed care in Virginia?
With agency-directed care, a home care agency assigns a caregiver to work with you and manages all aspects of their employment.
