Askwade, the majority of us grown children who are caregivers for our parent(s) do not get paid.... unless the parent can pay from their own retirement fund. If your Mom can do that, then you and Mom would need to prepare an employment agreement.

Another option is to see if your Mom can apply and be accepted by Medicaid [which is different from Medicare]. Depending on your State programs, maybe you could be paid, but note the pay would be minimal. Medicaid is funded by taxpayer dollars.
