I am caring for my brother (61) after his triple heart bypass surgery. Can I be paid as his caregiver?

My brother is 61 no job no income on State Medicaid-Wisconsin. Had triple bypass heart surgery, severe diabetes, and needs another surgery in about 4-6 weeks for a re-aggravated hernia that happened after heart surgery. Care for him with meals, was, house cleaning laundry, showering rides etc.

Wisconsin Badger Care has a Family Care program, but there are long waiting lists. Phone: 608-267-7286 or go to dhs.wisconsin.gov for information

If your brother can pay you, of course. If you're talking about a government program that will pay you, I don't think so. If you find a way to make that happen, though, I hope you'll post back to let others know.
