RubyWell helps family caregivers get paid
For eligible families, this is how RubyWell works:
Determine eligibility
If the person you care for is eligible for home health benefits through their insurance, RubyWell refers them to one of our local home health agency partners who will develop a care plan.
Get certified
Meanwhile, we connect you with access to home health aide certification training. On average, caregivers complete this course in six weeks.
Get hired and paid
Once you’ve earned your certification, the home health agency partner may hire you as a certified home health aide to care for your loved one, at the going pay rate for your area.
Family Caregiver FAQs
For eligible families, RubyWell can help any family caregiver get paid, including a spouse or even a friend. The caregiver must be at least 18 years old, legally allowed to work in the U.S., and pass background and drug tests to be eligible for the RubyWell program.
If you qualify for our program, we'll connect you with access to a combination of online and in-person training. When you compete the training and pass a test to become a Medicare-certified Home Health Aide or CNA (depending on your state's requirements) one of our home health agency partners may hire you provide care.
RubyWell is not a needs-based program, like Medicaid. So we don't require care recipients to meet any income or asset limits. If your family qualifies for RubyWell, the person you care for can hold on to what they've got.
