My sister appointed and assigned me as her POA for all her affairs and care when she was first told she is beginning to suffer dementia. We both are over 60. Her monthly check comes in her and my name and I'm the one that has to make sure all her affairs including doctor visits are in order which has severely limited me from working full time. Often times I do not have enough money to make it through the month. How can I get financial assistance for caring for her.
There's not much out there -- depending upon where you live.
If you live in the States, see If your parent qualifies for Medicaid, the State might allow a trained Caregiver come in to help for a couple hours. Also check to see if your State is one of those States that has a “Cash and Counseling” program to help you out, it‘s worth looking into. Note that each State has their own rules, regulations, and programs.
As Maggie above mentioned, contact your county agency on aging for programs such as Case Management, Meals on Wheels, Adult Day Care, housing, care referrals, etc,... go to the website link below.... click on your State.... now click on the city/county. https://www.agingcare.com/local/Area-Agency-on-Aging
And please come back to the forums if you have any Caregiving questions, we would be more than happy to share our experiences with you, and give you ideas on what to do.
