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:
In some states and under certain conditions, and through some programs. Contact you local council on aging with details about your case, any case workers already working with your loved one, any social workers to guide you and etc. Provide them with all details.
Many states have Medicaid Waivered programs which allow a family member or even a friend to be paid to care for a person in their home. Start with a call to your local county Medicaid or health services office. See if the patient is eligible for Medicaid and ask about paid home care. I have done this now in two states. Though their programs are managed differently, I have been able to be compensated for caring for my spouse. I don't know how else we would have survived. I had to quit working to stay home with him and provide 24 hour care after he was kicked out of a nursing home due to his behavior, which they were unable to manage.
You would have to set up a contract with your family stating payment, duties, etc. Then the person you are caring for would pay you, or their family would pay you.
NYS you can, I almost persud this, thought about it for a while. And decided that, with my mom's needs , the way she is and my family, that if I get paid, I would be on call with no help. And I decided that I can't nor do I want to do more than I am already doing. After reading others stories, I know I can't mentally take on more. But it probably works really good for some people and families
Best answers will come from a local lawyer that deals with family law or elder law. He/She will know all the regulations that pertain to this and can advise on how to cover all needed details.
Tuey, I read what health issues your mother has, and that can turn into 24 hour care as time goes on. Please note that close to 30% of caregivers pass away leaving behind the person they are caring. Those are not good odds. The reason is that around the clock caregiving by one person is physically and emotionally draining.
Even if you could get paid through the State, chances are it would be minimum wage with limited hours per week. Since your Mom was married to a veteran, click on this link www.agingcare.com/articles/applying-for-veterans-benefits-181517.htm
I read your profile. Mom will only worsen. Why not try to find her a nice Long-term care facility with Medicaid paying for her care. Then you visit as her child, not her caretaker.
It’s also state specific and if you are on disability could reduce or cancel payments. Worth asking both questions. Will not be full time hours much less 24/7 in most states.
