About me
I have been sole caregiver for mother with Alzheimer's nearly 8 years. Two sisters are total deadbeats with financial abuse history, but another sister is willing to help, but lives too far away to come often.
Because of financial elder abuse, my mother's affairs were taken over by the public guardian's office. They made me 24/7 caregiver and eventually paid me $10 DAY to care for her (mom's own money, not county money).
I am not old enough, nor sick enough, to qualify for any assistance program myself. However I can start collecting early SS, but not Medicare. One can't live on $10 day, FYI, although I get free room and board. Most of my "income" goes to pay for computer/internet.
