Licensing for Wyoming Home Care Agencies
Wyoming does not license agencies that provide only non-medical companion and personal care, so the checks fall to you. Ask for proof of liability insurance, bonding, background checks and caregiver training before anyone comes to the house.
An agency that employs its caregivers handles payroll taxes and workers’ comp. A private hire leaves those duties with the family.
How Wyoming Families Pay for In-Home Care
Community Choices Waiver
Wyoming Medicaid can pay for personal care at home for people who meet its medical and financial rules; waiting lists are common.
Aid & Attendance
Paid to the veteran or surviving spouse, so it can cover agency caregivers or a person the family hires in Wyoming.
Housebound benefit
A veteran mostly confined to the Wyoming home may get the smaller Housebound allowance instead of Aid & Attendance.
