Are We a Fit?
Here's what it takes to work with us on the DD Waiver
Are You Eligible?
We work with families on the New Mexico Medicaid Developmental Disabilities Waiver (DD Waiver). You must have approval through the state for a Family Living Provider budget. On the self-directed Mi Via Waiver instead? We support those families too.
Are You Connected?
Care Teams need modern smartphones with a data plan and must be comfortable using basic apps. Teams must also be comfortable reviewing shift details digitally via smartphone or computer.
Can You Choose the Caregivers?
We trust your instincts and work with you to find the best fit for your family. Our agency empowers families to find and manage caregivers they trust, including relatives, friends, neighbors, or trusted support providers.
Our Story
We started this agency with one simple belief: families know best. Too often, we've seen caregivers undervalued and families overwhelmed by red tape. So we decided to do something about it.
Lift Family Care exists to put the power and the pay back into the hands of families. By using technology, reducing overhead and digitizing the process, we pass more Medicaid dollars directly to the people doing the real work: Family Caregivers.
Our mission is simple: build the best teams for our participants by paying a high wage and using the most modern tools available to do it.
Why Choose Us?
We offer the most advanced and modern caregiving solution in the State of New Mexico.

Paid Every Week
Money lands in your bank account weekly — no waiting a month to get paid for work you already did.
Full Control
At Lift Family Care, family members can be the caregiver. Build bigger care teams, control the schedule, and work with our agency — not against it.
Compliance
We handle all caregiver training, paperwork, and Medicaid requirements so you don't have to. We take care of the details, so you can focus on what matters most.
How it Works
Three simple steps to build a care team you trust. We handle the paperwork and compliance so you can focus on what matters — caring for your loved one.
- 01
Choose Your Caregivers
You decide who provides care—whether it's you, a family member, a trusted friend, or someone from your community. There's no assigned staff or rotating strangers. You choose the people who know your loved one best, including backup caregivers in a pinch.
- 02
We Handle the Setup
From background checks to state-required training, we take care of every onboarding step. We ensure all caregivers meet New Mexico's IDD program requirements, so you don't have to worry about paperwork or Medicaid compliance. Our support staff is always here to keep you on track and in good standing.
- 03
You Focus on the Care
You create a schedule that fits your life. Need care in the mornings? Weekends? Just a few hours a day? We're here and connected. We will help you track hours, stay within your Medicaid-approved budget, handle payroll, ensure compliance, and provide support behind the scenes so your care experience is simple, clear, and customized to your exact needs.
Parent & Family Caregivers
We believe parents and family members are the best caregivers for their loved ones. With Lift's streamlined tools, industry-leading pay, and full support, we make it easier for families to focus on the care that matters.
