How do I find out about caregiving to my father and get pay for caregiving?

What do you need to know about caregiving? Different states have different policies about offering compensation for family caregiving. Don’t expect to get a lot of cash from any state, though. It’s not enough to live on and unless you pay for it yourself, there is no health insurance or retirement fund. We always say it’s better if the person you will be caregiving for can afford to pay you out of their own finances. If you’d like to read others’ experiences on getting financial compensation for family caregiving, go to the search box on this forum and type in “ getting paid for family caregiving”. There are many hundreds of posts about this.
