Unfortunately, the vast majority of family caregivers are not paid. Those seniors who are lucky enough pay their family members themselves.
There might be a state program with Medicaid to pay a small amount....but, it would likely only be a few hours a week...not enough to live on.
like so many of us, he will probably have to get a job, even if it is parttime.

First, see if you qualify for Medicaid Homecare. You can try Office of Aging to see what resources they may have. Do you have any money put aside? Maybe a nice Assisted living.
