How can I get financial aid for my caregiver?

My son is my caregiver and can't hold down a job due to the amount of time it takes to care for me.

First, see if you qualify for Medicaid Homecare. You can try Office of Aging to see what resources they may have. Do you have any money put aside? Maybe a nice Assisted living.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of family caregivers are not paid. Those seniors who are lucky enough pay their family members themselves.

There might be a state program with Medicaid to pay a small amount....but, it would likely only be a few hours a week...not enough to live on.

like so many of us, he will probably have to get a job, even if it is parttime.
