Vermont FAQ

Questions Vermont families ask us

Can I really get paid to care for my parent or spouse in Vermont?

Yes. If your loved one qualifies for Medicaid-covered in-home care in Vermont through Choices for Care, A&M Homecare can train, certify, and employ you as their paid caregiver. Every situation is different — one call to our Vermont team and we can usually tell you the same day whether the program fits your family.

How much do family caregivers earn in Vermont?

Vermont family caregivers with A&M start at $25/hour, plus access to our benefits package.

Do I need experience or a certification to start?

No. A&M provides free PSS (Personal Support Specialist) training — about 40 hours — and the certification stays with you. You bring the thing that can't be trained: knowing and loving the person you care for.

Who can I care for?

Typically a parent, spouse, adult child, or other family member who qualifies for in-home care under Choices for Care. Rules vary by situation, so call us and we'll check yours in a few minutes.

What support do I get as a family caregiver?

You're an A&M employee, not on your own: care coordinators, respite when you need a break, 24/7 on-call support, and a local Vermont office that answers its own phone.
