mcampsano, please note that the vast majority of grown children do not get paid for taking care of their parent(s)..... unless the parent(s) can afford to pay that grown child from their own retirement fund.

Another option is to check with your State Medicaid office to see if they have a program where you could earn some money being a caregiver, but the pay would be minimal, and not all States offer such a program. Your Dad would need to apply and qualify first.

If your Dad is a U.S. Veteran, check the Aid & Attendance program.
