Lisa, the vast majority of grown children do not get paid for being a caregiver unless that family member can pay you from their own pocket. You would need to draw up an employee contract.
Otherwise, have the family member apply for Medicaid [which is different from Medicare]. Some States will pay a family member to be a caregiver but please note the pay will be very minimal.
I'm not sure if you are looking for an income from the family member or from the state. If you are looking from the state, I would call the local office and see what if any programs are available in your area.
