How do I begin trying to be a paid care giver for my parents?

Are you trying to get someone other than your parents to pay you like that state you live in? Medicare doesn’t pay for family caregivers. Are they on Medicaid or eligible for veterans assistance? The majority of adult children only get paid if their parents can pay them. Some States have programs for family caregivers at home; but the hours are limited, the pay is not great and most don’t have benefits included. More info will get you more exact answers.

If they are on Medicaid, they may be eligible for a homecare waiver. The waiver allows a family caregiver to be paid either by getting hired through an agency or hired by the parents directly. If you are their POA, social security representative payee or legal guardian than you aren’t eligible to be paid through the waiver program.

If you go up to that magnifying glass in the upper right corner and type in “family caregiver”. You will find dozens and dozens of posts about this on this forum. You should find an answer there.

I am seeking money from veterans aid and assistance program. They allow money to be used for pay for primary caregiver, hiring help or use towards assisted living facility.
