In-home care in Burlington
Burlington is Vermont's largest city and the heart of Chittenden County. As home to UVM Medical Center, Burlington is where most of northern Vermont's hospital discharges begin the journey back to home care. A&M Homecare's Vermont office is right downtown at 35 King Street, so our Burlington team can be at a client's door within days of a referral call.

Under Vermont's Choices for Care (CFC) program, Burlington families can receive Medicaid-paid personal care attendant services at home — including care from a family member. A&M is a certified CFC Home Care Provider, and we handle the paperwork, the Independent Living Assessment (ILA) coordination, and the caregiver training required by the state.
Where we fit in the Burlington healthcare network
Our clients in Burlington typically also work with the University of Vermont Medical Center (Vermont's academic medical center), UVM's specialty clinics along Colchester Avenue, and the many primary care practices that discharge patients home into the greater Burlington area. We are not a home health agency and we are not a case management agency — we're the personal care team that shows up several times a week for bathing, dressing, meals, and daily living support. If you're a hospital case manager, discharge planner, or Area Agency on Aging staffer, our referrals page has everything you need to send a Burlington client our way.

Frequently asked questions about home care in Burlington
How much does in-home care cost in Burlington, Vermont?
For private-pay clients in Burlington, our personal care rates typically run between $32 and $38 per hour depending on hours-per-week and complexity of care. If you qualify for Vermont's Choices for Care (CFC) Medicaid program, the state pays A&M directly and there is no hourly cost to the family. Long-term care insurance policies are also accepted. Call our Burlington office at (802) 318-4758 for a plain-English quote for your specific situation.
Do you accept Vermont Medicaid Choices for Care in Burlington?
Yes. A&M Homecare is an enrolled Vermont Medicaid provider (#6725852) for the Choices for Care (CFC) program. If you or your loved one live in Burlington and are already CFC-approved, we can accept your authorization and start scheduling. If you are not yet approved, we can walk you through the application with your local Area Agency on Aging (Age Well serves Chittenden County).
Can I get paid to care for my parent in Burlington under CFC?
Yes — Vermont's Choices for Care program allows adult children, spouses (in some cases), and other family members to be paid caregivers through a program called Adult Family Care or the Surrogate model. We handle the Vermont paperwork, orient you as a Direct Support Worker (DSW), and get you on payroll. See our Vermont paid family caregiver guide for the full details.
How quickly can care start in Burlington?
For private-pay clients in Burlington, we can typically start care within 3-5 business days of your first call. For CFC Medicaid clients, timing depends on how quickly your authorization is issued by Age Well or the state — once we have that, we can start within a week. Urgent hospital discharges from UVM Medical Center can sometimes be accommodated same-week; call us as early in the discharge planning process as possible.
