There are no forms as such. Medicare only pays for in home care after a hospital stay which is temporary. It does not pay for caregivers on a daily basis.
Medicaid pays for in home care with a caregiver but you need to meet the income criteria. You can only have so much in assets and your monthly income has to not go over the income cap. To startvan application you go to your local Social Services agency and speak to a caseworker there.
You can try your Office of Aging for help otherwise, you pay privately for an aide.
Are you talking about how to qualify for assistance under Medicare or your health insurance? You would need to check the policies for that information. If you used a Medicare broker to choose plans, contact him or her for guidance.
In my experience, I posted a job on Care.com for a personal caregiver for both my parents in their home. I did not need their dr to fill out any forms.
