What financial assistances is available to a grandchild taking care of their grandmother 24-hours-a-day?

First, find out if your Grandmother is on Medicaid. That could help. Next, go to your state Web site (or hers if you have residence in another state) and look under something like "aging services." There you will find contact information for your state. You will also find a program with a title similar to The National Family Caregiver Support Program. Check into that as those folks will know the ropes, locally.

Good luck to you. Your caring heart is appreciated.
