Is your spouse a Veteran? If so the VA will now pay spouses to care for the Veteran. This was not always the case. So if the spouse is a Veteran and not connected with the VA system contact your local Veterans Assistance Commission or your States Department of Veterans Affairs and get them into the system. There are many benefits that he/she may be entitled to. In general a spouse does not get paid to care for their spouse. You could make a legal contract and get paid, this might be helpful if you have separate financial accounts. You might want to see an Elder Care Attorney to find out what would be the best route to take.
