My mom has rare disease and is home with DNR papers. I am currently on a FMLA leave of absence need help. Really need to know what organization to go to for cash aide my mother's Billy at this time for prescriptions is $500.00 a month.
I found it very helpful to start by calling my county's Social Services and asking for a needs assessment. The social worker was very familiar with not only the programs the country administers but other community resources as well.
In addition to the Office of the Aging, if your mother is on Medicaid you may qualify for cash payments as a caregiver. It isn't available in all states but the program is called the Cash and Counseling Program. Check it out and see if you qualify.
Here is an article from our site that may help you find some resources that could help you.
