my husband passed away sept 30 2016, i am his wife and was his main caregiver, i distributied his medications, Dr appt. and so on he was on oxygen therapy, and was housebound, i worked 40 hours a week came home everyday for lunch and took care of all his needs, he is gone now and i miss him, but always thought i had two jobs and then some.
Sorry, I don't know of any government program that would pay a spouse for caregiving. In fact, vast majority of grown children are not paid for caring for their own parents.
