Benevolent Caregivers

Medicaid & VA Support for Home Care in Illinois

Understanding Medicaid or VA benefits can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re
already caring for a loved one. Benevolent Caregivers helps families apply for, qualify for,
and navigate home care programs through Illinois Medicaid Waivers and the VA Aid &
Attendance program.

Our goal is simple:
Make high-quality home care affordable for every family.

Illinois Medicaid Home Care Programs

Affordable Support for Seniors & Adults With Disabilities Many Illinois residents qualify for Medicaid-funded home care through programs such as:

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waivers

These waivers help seniors receive care at home rather than in a facility.

Seniors & Persons with Disabilities (SPD) Waiver

Supports individuals who need assistance with daily living tasks.

Clients with disabilities or chronic health conditions

Managed Care Organization (MCO) Plans For seniors enrolled in managed Medicaid health plans

Medicaid Long-Term Care Support

Helps cover personal care, companion care, homemaking, respite care, and more.

How We Help Families Navigate Benefits

We communicate with families, case managers, and coordinators as needed.
