Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
You may be able to get some pay if these elderly people you're caring for are on Medicaid. However, you will not receive any 'back pay' for the last two years though.
If your truck was stolen in 2023, surely you reported it to the police and your insurance company? Car insurance policies cover theft if there's a police report with it. Didn't you buy a new truck with the money your insurance company paid you? Or do you drive with no insurance?
It's time for you to get a job and the three elderly people and their families can figure out their caregiving needs.
Are you a relative? Are you POA? If not, who is POA? How are their other bills getting paid? Do these people all have dementia? Are any cognizant? The POA is the one that determines how the money for their care is spent. Their care includes Housing, Food, Utilities, caregiving services just to mention a few. If no one is POA then you step back and contact APS and say that there is no one that is responsible for them and you can no longer provide care for them . If there is a POA then you have to tell them that you can no longer continue to work with no compensation. (figure out what the hourly rate is for caregivers in your area..easy to search that information). Without a caregiving contract you will stop working for them. then you have to stop. It is then up to the POA to find appropriate care.
You will NEVER get paid back for the 2 previous years. If there has EVER been mention that you will inherit money..or will be paid after they die and the estate is settled forget that. You will see NOTHING. Best to cut your loss now.
Important distinction here, you chose to quit your job, you didn’t have to do so. In doing so, assuming you’re still of an age where you need to be providing for your finances, saving for your future, and contributing to Social Security, it put you in a bad position. It could have been done out of the best motives, most of us want to help our loved ones, it just has to work for all involved to be successful. Please heavily consider looking out more for yourself. There are some programs out there providing pay for caregivers, but the pay is never much. You’re not wrong for wanting to be paid, it’s also important to consider the big picture
Are you asking if you can get paid by the state for their care? Are they family members? If they're not family members I'm not sure you can get paid. Were they paying you directly and they ran out of money or became too incapacitated to manage their financial affairs? Do any of them have a PoA? Them hiring you makes them your literal employers in the eyes of the IRS. More information would be helpful.
What state are you in and are any of the people on Medicaid (different than Medicare)? Some states have a program called In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) in which a patient on Medicaid who meets requirements for caregiving can choose a friend or family member to provide the care. My understanding is that the hours and pay for this program are limited.
Are any of the people veterans? There are some programs covering them as well.
More information would be helpful. Also, it may not be feasible for you to continue trying to care for people for low or no pay. You have needs too and need to provide for your own future and retirement.
