Does a parent have to be on Medicaid in order for a child to receive pay for care?
I am researching how I could be paid for caring for my mother? From what I am reading, it seems to say that mom would have to be on Medicaid. That cuts me out. My mom has Medicare and Humana Gold Plus supplement insurance.
I am not sure I am understanding the article. Is there an organization that I could call to get information. Please tell me what you know about this situation. Thanks.
She has lived with us for 14 years without paying anything except for her personal items, such as Poise pads, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, her meds, etc. We buy groceries, utility bills, cable, etc. It all adds up over the years having an additional person in our home.
Thanks for any info or experiences that you are able to share with me.
I wasn’t sure what category to place this question in.

Call your local area on aging. They will know what state and local programs there are. It looks like Louisiana medicaid uses a waiver for home care and there is a waitlist for it. So again, contact the area on aging. There may be other programs outside of Medicaid.
Answers my question. She gets little social security and isn’t going to agree to paying me herself. I wouldn’t take it directly from her. Oh well, looks like we will tough it out for the time being.
