The LummaCare Story
LummaCare was founded with a simple belief — that no one should have to choose between caring for the people they love and making a living. Across the country, millions of families quietly take on the role of caregiver every day, offering patience, comfort, and support often without pay or recognition. We set out to change that. LummaCare was built to help families navigate the complex world of paid caregiving with confidence. From understanding your state’s Medicaid programs to learning how to become a certified caregiver, our mission is to light the path forward. What began as a small effort to make caregiving information easier to find has grown into a nationwide movement for empowerment, dignity, and better access to care.
Lumma
First-born daughter
Our name, Winona, comes from the Sioux Dakota word Winúŋna, meaning “first-born daughter.” This name is deeply significant, as it encompasses the essence of womanhood and the collective journey we share. Every woman is a daughter, experiencing life's transitions and evolving through time. Together, we honor the strength, resilience, and beauty of the Winona woman.
Our Purpose
Caring for someone you love is one of life’s most meaningful acts — but it can also be one of the hardest. At LummaCare, we exist to make that journey a little easier. We believe that knowledge is power, and that families deserve clear, trustworthy guidance when navigating state programs, pay options, and home care support. Our platform brings together expert-verified information, state-specific caregiving guides, and compassionate advice so that you never have to feel lost or alone in the process. Whether you’re just beginning to explore how to get paid as a caregiver or managing long-term care for a parent or spouse, LummaCare is here to give you clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
Our Promise
When you come to LummaCare, you’re not just visiting another resource — you’re joining a community that believes in your strength and your story. We promise to keep our information accurate, up-to-date, and written in language that’s easy to understand. We know caregiving isn’t one-size-fits-all, which is why we focus on real families, real programs, and real results. Every guide we publish, every article we write, and every connection we help you make is designed to serve one purpose: helping you care better, live better, and be supported along the way. LummaCare is your partner in navigating the caregiving journey with dignity, compassion, and hope.
Our Vision
We imagine a future where caregiving is valued, supported, and accessible to every family — regardless of income or circumstance. LummaCare is leading that change by becoming the most comprehensive resource for paid caregiving in the nation. But our vision goes beyond information. We’re building a movement that brings families, care agencies, and communities together to create lasting systems of support. From expanding educational tools and certification resources to spotlighting caregivers who inspire others, our goal is to make sure no caregiver ever feels invisible again. With every visit, every guide, and every shared story, LummaCare is helping shape a brighter, more caring world — one family at a time.
Our Community
Behind every great act of care is a story worth sharing — and that’s what makes the LummaCare community so special. We’re more than a resource; we’re a network of families, friends, and professionals who believe that compassion can change lives. Every caregiver who visits LummaCare becomes part of a larger story — one that celebrates the quiet heroes who show up day after day with love, patience, and strength. Together, we’re creating a space where caregivers can find guidance, encouragement, and connection. Whether you’re learning how to navigate Medicaid, supporting a loved one through daily care, or simply looking for reassurance that you’re not alone, LummaCare is here to remind you: your care matters, your work has value, and your story deserves to be seen.

Because Every Family’s Journey Is Different
No two caregiving situations look the same—and neither do the programs that support them. LummaCare helps you cut through the confusion with resources designed to match your family’s unique needs.
Don’t settle for symptoms.
We’ve heard it time and time again. Women go to their doctors seeking treatment for the unexplained weight gain, hot flashes, and a host of other symptoms, only to be told their symptoms aren’t “bad enough” yet. At Winona, we believe that every woman has the right to receive the care and treatment she deserves, without having to struggle to be taken seriously.
Real women, real results
When we say real, we mean it.
Winona deeply values authenticity, and we feature our actual patients on our website and social media.
Serving Women Across the US
While our ultimate goal is to serve women everywhere, due to differing telehealth regulations, we currently serve these states:
