Family care is a Medicaid program administered by the Texas Department
of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) which provides non-technical
attendant services to Medicaid eligible consumers who reside at home.
Under the Family Care Program, the attendant or provider could be a
family member, a friend or a neighbor. Participation in the family
care program does not require a doctor’s order. However, like
in Primary Home Care a consumer must have a functional limitation and
need assistance with activities of daily living.
Attendants also help consumers with:
- Personal Care
- Bathing and Dressing
- Shaving / Oral care
- Skin / Hair care
- Toileting
- Housekeeping
- Meal Preparation
- Laundry and Shopping
- Escort and Walking
- Assistance with self – administered medications
