Going back to your question, you are taking care of your parents who are on Medicaid? If you are and want to get paid, it will be quite a job for you. That's because you may need to get certified by the state like CNA so, you can get paid for your parents caregiving services. Also, I find someone else asking the same question " How can I get paid for taking care of your parents who are in Medicaid". You need to call or check the state Medicaid website and see the requirements. It is a lot of information's you need to gather from this website so, you call or look in Indiana's Medicaid programs for elderly care.
