What is Structured Family Caregiving (SFC)?
The Structured Family Caregiving program (SFC) offers financial and support services to Georgia families that deliver care at home for a senior or disabled person.
SFC allows family members to care for their own family members. The family caregiver must live with the member/client. No matter if you are the daughter, son, cousin, aunt, niece, nephew or related by marriage, you may be eligible to care for your own family member and receive a stipend for the care you provide to your loved one.
