Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

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:
Consult an elderly care attorney, any attorney for that matter or someone who is a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and does taxes all the time--not just during tax season. Hope it helps. Good luck!
If you are providing more than 50% of your uncle's financial support you may take him as a dependent and may be able to deduct the expenses you outlined as such. Alternatively, you may wish to enter into a Personal Caregiver Agreement with him whereby he compensates you for your time and/or expenses.
Well, anyone can write or enter into a contract with anyone. So the question really is, what should be contained in the contract? You can try searching for "Personal Care Agreement" , "Personal Services Contract", or perhaps Personal Caregiver Agreement" and see what comes up. Part of the issue will be whether you want to maintain Mediciad eligibility for your uncle. If so, it will be important to know how the state he lives in will treat such a contract and the resulting payments.
Some states require a pay back provision to the estate of the elder in the event of death before the term of the contract expires, others do not.
You may be able to find a wills and trusts lawyer (as opposed to, and less expensive than, a board certified elder law attorney) who can draw the proper document at a reasonable fee. You may also be able to find a non-lawyer Medicaid planner in your area that can refer you to a low-cost attorney. If you are in Florida private message me or contact me through my website and I will be happy to refer.
I was appointed guardian for my adult aunt who has dementia and lives in a nursing home. Her only income is SS and she gets to keep $50 a month for expenses. I am having to provide everything else she needs such as pull up diapers (she refuses to wear those provided by nursing home), clothes, soap, lotion, etc. This has been going on for 7 yrs. Is there any way I can claim any of this on my income taxes?
I am a RN in Ohio, and have worked as a travel nurse. I am in the process of getting my Florida RN license. If I go to Florida for 2 months to take care of my mother (87) who needs 24 hour care, and get paid by my father (91) can I deduct travel expenses, room and board, or per diem when I do my taxes? Payment is not through Medicaid. Right now he is paying for round the clock caregivers.
My mom stays with me on week-ends and someone comes to her house during the week. I have a caregiver agreement. I cannot claim her as a dependent but can I take expenses as a deduction to my taxes such as use of a room. Mileage, and food while she stays here?
Syrupsally, if you work as an *independent contractor*, thus have a caregiver agreement, you might be able to deduct expenses that you pay for being a caregiver, such as mileage and supplies that you use that aren't reimbursed. You would need to check with an income tax preparer about the other items you had mentioned.
