Payment
RubyWell partners with local home health agencies, who may then hire your family member as a certified home health aide. Your insurance benefits may cover up to 35 paid hours of care per week, depending on your care needs.

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 pass background and drug tests to be eligible for the RubyWell program.
If they qualify for our program, we'll connect them with access to a combination of online and in-person training. When they complete 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 them to provide care.
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.
