I'm going to be caring for my friend's grandfather full time. My CNA license expired. Will Medicare pay me or would it be worth it to go back and get my license renewed?

Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members.

Medicare doesn't generally pay for custodial care - what you would be supplying. Still, if you like the work, you may want to update your credentials for the future. CNAs are needed and employable!
