About the Florida Family Caregiver Program (SB 1156)

Florida’s new Family Caregiver Program, established through Senate Bill 1156, allows family members—such as parents or legal guardians—to be trained, certified, and paid to care for their medically complex child at home. If your child qualifies for Private Duty Nursing (PDN) through Medicaid, you may now be eligible to become their paid caregiver.

This innovative model mirrors successful programs in Colorado (Family CNA) and Arizona (Family LHA), which have helped thousands of families receive the support and financial stability they deserve. Team Select has been a pioneer in these programs and is excited to help families across the beautiful state of Florida.
