A paid family caregiver can make all the difference
There’s care. And then there’s loving care from someone who knows you best. Now, your own family caregiver can get paid for the dedicated care they provide to you.
Get the care you need from someone you trust
Trained to provide a professional level of care
If you're eligible for home health benefits through Medicare, RubyWell can help your family caregiver get the training they need to be paid as your home health aide.
Paid a professional rate
Medicare may cover up to 35 paid hours of care per week, depending on your care needs. And your family caregiver can be paid the going rate for home health aides in your area to provide that care.
Family caregiver training and payment may improve your aging experience
When family caregivers participate in a caregiver health education program, the aging loved ones they care for are likely to have lower overall healthcare costs.
Paid family caregivers have been shown to reduce emergency room visits by 28% and reduce the likelihood of hospital stays by 32%.
RubyWell helps families afford to provide the quality care their older loved ones deserve.

Care Recipient 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 may be required to pass background and/or drug tests to get paid to care for you.
If you qualify for our program, your caregiver will need to complete a combination of online and in-person training and pass a test to become a Medicare-certified Home Health Aide.
RubyWell is not a needs-based program, like Medicaid. So we don't require you to meet any income or asset limits. If you and your caregiver qualify for RubyWell, you can hold on to what you've got.
The home health insurance benefit may cover up to 35 paid hours of care per week, depending on your care needs. That doesn't mean that your family caregiver won't be able to provide all of the same care they already provide for you. It just means they'll only be paid for certain necessary home health tasks that will be outlined in your personalized care plan.
