What do I need to do so I can be a caretaker for my friend?

Dear Kassandra,

I hope these websites can provide you with additional support and information.

I see Life Scan is a finger printing service. So is MediCal or another state program paying you to take care of your friend? These would be the people who you should ask if there is anything more they need.

We all are from different states with different programs. It would be hard to answer this question.

Are you asking how to get paid? He pays you, and one of you creates a written contract you both sign regarding fees and hours so there's no confusion.
