Virginia Medicaid & Home Care
Virginia Medicaid covers in-home care for eligible residents — and through the CCC Plus Waiver, it can pay family caregivers too.
Virginia Medicaid, now unified under the name Cardinal Care, funds in-home care for people who need help with daily activities. The main vehicle is the CCC Plus Waiver, which covers personal care, respite, and consumer-directed services.
Eligibility depends on income, assets, and care needs. We help families understand whether they qualify and how to enroll.
