I live in Texas and i am the primary caregiver to my dad. He has been in and out of the hospital, long care facilities, and rehab since January. He is now home and i do everything for him. Home Health comes in a few times a week to check on him and do theropy. I have a job but taking care of my dad is cutting in on my time at work. How do i find out if i can get paid for taking care of my dad?
