I've been caring for my mother who is on disability and is undergoing chemo and radation. I have her living with me at the present cause she lives so far away out of state. I myself get Medicaid. I am a stay at home mom of 2. We are not sure if she will be living with me full time in future if her health will get any better but at the present it's getting worse. I have to do everything for her she is unable to right now. She has good and alot of bad days. Everyone tells me to look into getting paid to take care of her cause money is getting tight. Insurance has helped me with her needs if needed but cannot get help with the cash needs that we need. is there anyone I can talk to about this?
Good Luck and my best to you and your mom. I hope her good days start to out number her not so good soon.
Another option is for your Mother to apply and be accepted by Medicaid [which is different from Medicare]. Some States will offer payment to a grown child or relative to care for someone who is ill and/or elderly. But note, the pay would be very minimal and there are no benefits offered. Medicaid is taxpayer funded.
