Too Many People Are Approved for Care… But Still Go Without It
If you or a loved one qualify for Medicaid in-home care but haven’t been assigned a caregiver, you’re not alone.
Across Missouri, thousands of people are stuck waiting—not because they don’t meet the requirements, but because there simply aren’t enough caregivers available in their area.
We see it every day: Seniors approved for care—but still bathing, cooking, and cleaning alone...and families struggling to fill the gap
People calling for help, only to hear “We don’t have staff in your area yet"
💡 That’s Why We Started the Rural Care Initiative
We believe care shouldn't depend on your ZIP code.
There are good people in your community who would be willing to help—they just haven’t been asked or connected yet.
Our mission is simple:
Find and support caregivers already living near you—neighbors, friends, or community members—and train them to provide the care you deserve.
🏡 Two Ways We Deliver Care:
In-Home Care Program – We assign a trained caregiver and manage everything for you.
Consumer Directed Services (CDS) – You choose someone you know to be your caregiver—we handle the rest.
You Can Be a Caregiver in Your Community
No experience or certifications required.
If you’ve managed your household, raised children, helped aging parents, or simply have a heart for helping others—you already have the most important skills.
We’ll provide the training and support. You’ll provide care that truly matters—right in your own town.
💬 What is the Local Caregiver Alert List?
The Local Caregiver Alert List is a way for you to get notified when someone in your community needs a caregiver.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to help, but I’m not sure how to get started,” this is the perfect first step.
You don’t need to commit to anything right away. Just tell us a little about yourself—like where you live and what kind of help you’d be open to providing. Then, when we have a client in your area, we’ll text or call you to see if it’s a good match.
