Dorothy, are you wondering if you can get paid for helping your Mom?
Note that the majority of grown children do not get paid for helping their parent.... unless the parent can pay from their own retirement fund.
You can check to see if your Mom can qualify for Medicaid [which is different from Medicare]. In some States you can get paid, but it would be minimal.
I'm sorry, I just want to understand, are you asking how to apply for Medicaid or Medicare? Or some other community programs that might assist a senior with household chores? I would check with the town office first about connecting to any services available. I understand churches also have some programs for the elderly.
