Is there a form to use to apply to be a caregiver for my mom?

My brother and I want to become caregivers for my mother. How do we apply?

Honey, there is no application for caring for your parents or any loved ones. It's definitely work - and unpaid - unless your parents or loved ones have resources to pay YOU.

If I'm reading this correctly I think they want to be paid to do what we have been doing for years....Good luck with that! I hope your Mom has already seen an Atty and her monies have been tucked away in an estate for at least 5 yrs.

you can check out any daycare or senior programs in your area.Apply for a position as caregiver.
You can be hired by:

A home care agency, adult family home, boarding home, or nursing home and be paid by the agency or facility to provide care.

Do you mean you want to work for a "home care agency" and be assigned to care for your mom? I guess you'd need to apply directly to that company to see if they'd do it. Or maybe you mean that you want to be paid by an agency like Medicaid or the Veteran's Administration? In that case you might call the Alz.org Helpline. i don't know if it can be done, but they'd at least be able to refer you to resources. Good luck.
