I am caring for an elderly friend of mine, they cannot afford to pay for assistance. Is there help to pay me for taking care of him?

EXPERT Carol Bradley Bursack, CDSGF Feb 2011
If your friend is on Medicaid, there may be some paid hours of care, so check into that.
If not, it's unlikely. However, you should check your state's website. Type "aging" in the search box and then follow links. You may find some help.
On the site, you should find your state's version of the National Family Caregiver Support Program. They may be able to give you some local tips.

Take care,
Carol
