Carol Bradley Bursack, Feb 1, 2010
Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."
Medicaid has some allowance for that and some "mixed" Medicare/Medicaid programs do. You'll have to go through your Social Services or state aging services (found on your state's Web site) for more local information.
Good luck,Carol

I live in Indiana and currently unable to work because I must care for my partner fulltime, hebecame very ill in April 2011 and came very close to death. He is currently going thru Liver transplant evaluation once this is completed he will hopefully go on the transplant list. His doctors will not allow him to work, drive, and is basically disabled due to this illness. I spend most of my day tending to his needs, he can not be alone so basically he is my fulltime job and I am unable to work outside the home. I was told there were programs that would pay me for taking care of him. Is this true and if so what organization do I contact. Thank you in advance for your help. Mamie
