Service Definition<br />

Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) is a living arrangement in which a participant lives in the private home of a<br />

principal caregiver who may be a non-family member (foster care) or a family member who is not the<br />

participant’s spouse, the parent of the participant who is a minor, or the legal guardian of the minor<br />

participant.<br />

Necessary support services are provided by the principal caregiver (family caregiver) as part of SFC. Only<br />

agencies may be SFC providers, with the SFC settings being approved, supervised, trained, and paid by the<br />

approved agency provider. The provider agency must conduct two visits per month to the home – one by a<br />

Registered Nurse and one by a SFC Home Manager. The provider agency must keep daily notes that can be<br />

accessed by the State.<br />

Service Levels and Rates<br />

There are three service levels of SFC, each with a unique rate. Beginning January 1, 2013, the Algo level<br />

assigned to the participant will drive and determine the appropriate level of SFC service and reimbursement<br />
