Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Yes, but the rate is extremely low. About $3-$4/hr. If the person in need lives at home is much lower. That's what you may get if that person lives in a Residential care homes or Nursing Homes.
Thank you so much for your hug and comment. Going back to your question, you are taking care of your parents who are on Medicaid? If you are and want to get paid, it will be quite a job for you. That's because you may need to get certified by the state like CNA so, you can get paid for your parents caregiving services. Also, I find someone else asking the same question " How can I get paid for taking care of your parents who are in Medicaid". You need to call or check the state Medicaid website and see the requirements. It is a lot of information's you need to gather from this website so, you call or look in Indiana's Medicaid programs for elderly care.
I knew nothing about Medicaid or Medicare prior to my Mom's dementia. My father (divorced from Mom and remarried for about 30 years) knew what I was facing and really didn't want to get involved, but simply got the number of the woman in charge of the Medicaid office for Mom's county and state. If you call and ask specific questions they will give you guidance and answers but Laws are very different from state to state. Medicare and Medicaid are different. There are many resourses to help if income is low and assets are considered depending on your particular situation. I do recommend keeping a log of expences and daily care. I would research online the county and state laws. Before handling any financial or health issues you should have a Power of Attorney.

I am moving to buy a home in Columbia ,sc.But I currently live in Sacramento ,ca where my disabled mom moved in with me and I am her caregiver. The state now pays me to care for her. Are there similar programs in Columbia,sc that will pay me to be her caregiver there?
Mistyann125, your best bet is to contact the Medicaid office in South Carolina. Every State has their own rules and regulations, who can qualify and who can't. And what programs are available..... programs change frequently, what was available last year might not be there now due to budget cuts, etc.
