Taking the advice given below but because it is me responding and I always ask this.... Is your husband a Veteran? If so the VA now will pay a Spouse to care for the Veteran. And if your husband is a Veteran depending on where and when he served he may qualify for more benefits. Could be a little or it could be a LOT! Contact your local Veterans Assistance Commission they can help determine what he might qualify for. You can also contact your States Department of Veterans Affairs.
Depends on your financial situation and where you live. See the resources in this article on USAgov, a federal resource information website. https://www.usa.gov/disability-caregiver
I doubt it. Call your local council on aging and ask if your state has any programs to compensate family home caregivers. I certainly don't know of any myself. I do know that some states have Medicaid programs that support in some way family caregivers. If your husband is on Medicaid you might call to check on that. Sometimes senior centers have programs to help caregivers get information on respite and other things. Check out any senior centers in your area for information. Good luck.
