Agency-Directed vs. Consumer-Directed Care
Virginia's CCC Plus Waiver covers two ways to receive care at home. The difference comes down to who employs the caregiver. Godaelli is a licensed home care agency, so we provide the agency-directed model — and your family member can still be the one who gets paid.
| What's being compared | What Godaelli ProvidesAgency-Directed Care | The Other OptionConsumer-Directed Services |
|---|---|---|
| Who employs the caregiver | Godaelli. We hire, train, and supervise the caregiver as our employee. | You do. The Medicaid member (or their representative) is the employer of record. |
| Can a family member be the paid caregiver? | Yes — we hire your relative onto our staff. They get a real paycheck, a W-2, and training. | Yes — you hire your relative directly and manage them yourself. |
| Payroll, taxes, and workers' comp | Handled by Godaelli. Nothing for your family to file. | Handled through a fiscal agent you enroll with, with you as the employer. |
| Day-to-day hiring, scheduling, and timesheets | We manage it, built around your family's routine. | You manage it — recruiting, setting schedules, and approving time. |
| If the caregiver is sick or takes a vacation | We send a trained backup caregiver so coverage never lapses. | You arrange your own replacement. |

Looking for consumer-directed care so a relative can be paid?
You don't need the consumer-directed model for that. Tell us who you want as the caregiver and, if they qualify, Godaelli hires them onto our staff — so your loved one keeps the caregiver they trust, and that person earns a real paycheck without you ever running payroll or filing employment taxes.
How Much Can You Earn?
Your compensation depends on the level of care you provide. Here's what Virginia family caregivers typically earn through the CCC Plus Waiver program.
Light Care
Occasional help with dressing, hygiene, or reminders
Moderate Care
Frequent hands-on help with daily tasks
Intensive Care
Comprehensive assistance with all daily needs
| Care Level | Description | Hours/Day | Rate | Weekly | Monthly |

CCC Plus Waiver
The Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus (CCC Plus) Waiver is the Virginia Medicaid program that lets your loved one receive care at home — and lets family members get paid to provide it.
Get Paid to Care for a Family Member
If you are already caring for someone you love, Virginia Medicaid may pay you for it. Godaelli hires qualified family members as caregivers under the CCC Plus Waiver.
Agency vs Consumer Directed
Both models are covered by the CCC Plus Waiver. The difference is who employs the caregiver — an agency, or you. Godaelli provides the agency-directed model.
Veterans Home Care
Veterans and their families have caregiver-pay options beyond Medicaid. We help you navigate PCAFC, Aid & Attendance, and the VA caregiver stipend.
