One of our programs is an alternative to nursing home care and is often referred to as "structured family caregiving." It is covered by Medicaid, under certain waivers and is not a cost to the individual. Seniorlink serves Medicaid-eligible individuals and their families in select states, as well as members enrolled in Medicare Advantage, and their families, nationwide at no cost to participants. However, as a program participant, you may be paid a stipend to help offset living expenses while you focus on providing care.
It varies. Caregivers of members enrolled in state Medicaid are paid according to each state’s individual program requirements and the complexity of care needed. Caregivers of Medicare Advantage enrollees are not paid a stipend.
We work with government payers nationwide as well as Medicare Advantage providers. If the person you care for is enrolled in a state Medicaid provider, you may qualify. If your loved one is a Medicare Advantage member email info@seniorlink.com. You can always fill out our form (found at the top of this page), and one of our care coaches will get back to you to assess your eligibility.
For Medicaid members this varies by state. For Medicare Advantage members, please email info@seniorlink.com.
Our care collaboration app, Vela, is very easy to use. It is a messaging platform designed so that you can easily share notes with our care managers or other caregivers in your network. If you are comfortable using a smartphone, tablet or computer, you will be comfortable using Vela.

Seniorlink care coaches are a designated support resource for family caregivers. This typically means they will answer family caregiver questions around the health of their loved one, and provide advice on protocols and local support programs. Essentially, coaches are available to give you the help you need, when you need it.
Seniorlink supports adults 65 and over and individuals with disabilities, as well as people who meet other eligibility requirements depending on state, program, and complexity of care needed.
