Mesposito Asked April 2016

I have been taking caring of my sister since December. She lives in NJ. I live in PA where I'm paying rent. Is there compensation?

She had 5th spinal surgery. Went to rehabs and developed ulcerative pressure sores (3). Three times a week her wounds are cleaned and a vacuum is affixed. A physical therapist visits 2 times a week. I'm here to assist in her every day needs. As well as care for a wound every other day.

I wish I could say there is. It sounds like she is already getting services with a PT and RN. What concerns me is whether or not the rehab was negligent regarding the pressure sores. You might want to talk to an attorney who handles nursing home negligence.

Vast majority of family caregiver do not get paid, unless the patient can pay you from their own funds.
