Millions of family members provide daily care for free. In Missouri and Michigan, Medicaid programs can pay you for that care. We make the process simple.
Get paid
Become the paid caregiver for your relative and earn steady, Medicaid-funded pay.
Get support
A coordinator stays with you through enrollment and beyond. You are not navigating the state alone.

Families we serve
Care that stays home, support that stays close
I was already taking care of my dad every day. I just did not know I could get paid for it. Blue Lake handled everything.
They found us an aide within the week. My mom is comfortable and I can breathe again.
Every question I had, they answered. It never felt like I was on hold with the state.
