Can someone get paid for taking care of parent?

I've heard that someone that's taking care of their parent can get compensation.

Usedone, welcome to the forum. Yes, one can get paid for taking care of a parent, if the parent writes out a check for your services.


Another way is a bit more complicated as the parent would need to qualify for Medicaid (which is different from Medicare). It depends on your State Medicaid office, as each State has their own regulations and programs. Hopefully there would be a program to pay a grown child caring for a parent. Please note, it may be minimum wage for a few hours per week.
