Care in Kershaw County

Check the Program First, Then Plan the Week

South Carolina's self-directed and consumer-directed care options are Medicaid programs with their own eligibility rules. Start by asking the program and the agency whether the person qualifies, which services and hours are authorized, and who may serve as the caregiver. Everyday unpaid help from family is not the same as a funded program.

  • Supports self-directed and consumer-directed care through South Carolina Medicaid programs.
  • The person receiving care must be eligible for the program. Family caregivers must be 18 or older and pass a background check.
  • Whether a spouse can serve as the paid caregiver depends on the program's rules.
