Does Medicaid pay for home care in Indiana?
Yes. Through Indiana PathWays for Aging (age 60+), Indiana Medicaid covers in-home personal care and attendant care for eligible seniors and adults so they can age in place at home.
How do I find home care near me in Indianapolis?
Vital Home Care provides in-home senior care across the greater Indianapolis metro — Indianapolis (Marion County) and Fishers, Carmel & Noblesville (Hamilton County), plus Greenwood, Avon, Zionsville, Greenfield and the surrounding Central Indiana communities.
Do you provide dementia, Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s care at home?
Yes — our caregivers support seniors living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s, providing memory care, safety supervision, and gentle daily support so loved ones can stay safe and comfortable at home.
Do I need experience to become a paid family caregiver?
No. Vital Home Care provides free caregiver training and certification, plus ongoing support from a nurse and care coordinator. Most family members qualify — we verify eligibility for free.
How fast can home care start?
Once your plan authorizes services, care often starts within days — not weeks. Call us and we’ll map out your exact timeline in one conversation.
Can I get paid to take care of a parent in Indiana?
Yes. Through Indiana’s Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) program under PathWays for Aging, an eligible family member — including a spouse in Indiana — can be trained, supported, and paid a daily stipend to care for a parent or loved one. Caregivers must be 18+ and pass a background check — we check eligibility for free.
What is Indiana PathWays for Aging?
PathWays for Aging is Indiana’s Medicaid managed-care program for Hoosiers 60 and older. It’s run by three health plans — Anthem, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare — and covers home and community-based services like personal care, attendant care, respite, and Structured Family Caregiving.
What’s the difference between home care and home health care?
Home care (also called in-home care or personal care) is non-medical help with daily activities — bathing, dressing, meals, mobility, and companionship. Home health care includes skilled nursing and therapy. Vital Home Care provides non-medical in-home care and can help connect you to medical partners when needed.
Do you offer 24-hour, overnight & live-in care at home?
Yes — from a few hours a week to overnight or around-the-clock live-in caregiver options across Central Indiana, plus respite care to give family caregivers a break.
Can I switch home care agencies without a gap in care?
Yes. You have the right to choose your home care provider. We coordinate the transfer with your PathWays health plan — Anthem, Humana, or UnitedHealthcare — so there’s no gap between agencies, same hours, better support. Learn about transferring your agency →
