Family Caregiver Pay Map · South Dakota · Verified October 19, 2026
South Dakota's HOPE Waiver pays a live-in family caregiver a daily stipend through a Structured Family Caregiving provider agency, with the caregiver trained and supported by the provider; the waiver has no self-directed attendant option for adults outside the separate quadriplegia waiver.
Who can be paid: A family member who lives with the participant, as the principal caregiver under Structured Family Caregiving through a provider agency; the published rule does not state the spouse or non-relative rules.
The Home Care Agency is a free enrollment matching service — not a home care agency, not a Medicaid plan, and not a government agency. This research is educational. Eligibility, authorized hours and payment are always determined by the state program and, where applicable, the managed care plan.
