I know that I am entitled to terminate the aid. I live in North Carolina.

If that is the case you should contact the Department of Labor. Is there some sort of agreement that your payment is free room and board in exchange for caregiving?

If so, that is illegal. In a situation like this you would be considered an employee and entitled to minimum wage, paid overtime, etc... I would be contacting the Department of Labor in your state.

You might also contact Adult Protective Services. This would be considered abuse. Report auntie dearest and SW on their abuse of you.

As I understand it----and please correct me if I'm wrong--you are living rent free with your aunt, and are caregiving her? And you want to stop all caregiving support, but still remain rent free in her home? If that is the case the SW may in fact seek some conservatorship and placement of the Aunt, and that may result in eviction and/or sale of her home for her care.
I may be guessing. More information from you would be so helpful. Wishing you the best.

If that is the case, yes that makes sense.

What and how are you supporting? You are under no obligation to "support" anyone. Please provide more information.

Is SW threatening to evict you if you terminate care?

Need more information.

If you are her PoA then perhaps consult with an elder law attorney to see what the protocol is in NC to legally terminate that responsibility.

I'm not sure how a SW can evict you from your own home or hers (if you live with her and the county is not yet her guardian). Is she in a facility but not on Medicaid?

Is the aid you are providing caregiving? Financial? Both?

See BarbBrooklyn's questions that need clarification from you.

We need more information, Conch.

Are you living with your Aunt, or she with you?

Does the SW have a plan to get care for you Aunt?

How much care does Aunt need?

Are you her POA?
