Serving Camden County, Missouri
Get paid to care for a loved one in Camden County
Missouri's Consumer Directed Services program lets people on Medicaid choose their own caregiver, including most family members and friends, and Medicaid pays that caregiver $15.00 per hour. Caring Companions has supported consumers and caregivers across Camden County and Southwest Missouri since 2017, from our Springfield office.

You need MO HealthNet (Missouri Medicaid), a need for help with daily living, and the ability to direct your own care. Our two-minute check tells you where you stand.
Family can be the paid caregiver
An adult child, relative, friend or neighbor can be paid through the program. Spouses and legal guardians cannot. The full rules, plainly.
