Grateful Home Care provides Medicaid home care in Maryland. We help seniors, adults with disabilities, and people managing long-term health needs stay home safely — and help qualifying family members get paid for the care they already give.
Our care coordinators understand Maryland Medical Assistance programs, know how Community First Choice and CPAS work on the ground, and speak plainly with families about what they qualify for. We do not pass you between departments. One coordinator handles your case from start to finish.
Under Maryland CFC
CFC & CPAS
CFC is a Medicaid entitlement program — no waitlist. Built for individuals who require a nursing facility
level of care but choose to remain at home. It explicitly allows spouses and adult children to serve as paid
caregivers through self-direction.
Community Personal Assistance Services serves individuals who need help with at least one ADL but do
not meet the nursing facility threshold required for CFC. No waitlist. Self-directed care including paid
family caregivers is available.
Yes. Maryland’s Community First Choice program explicitly allows spouses to serve as paid caregivers
through self-direction, provided the spouse is not also the participant’s legal guardian. This is more
permissive than most states, including Michigan.
No. Both CFC and CPAS operate as entitlement or state plan benefits — anyone who meets the eligibility
criteria receives services. There is no enrollment cap or waitlist for either program.
