The state of AZ pays to be a caregiver to elderly in need. My daughter and I have been temporarily been staying with her Godmother who otherwise would be alone and she has congestive heart failure, has had 3 heart attacks, broke her back in June of last year and has since not been able to get around as well .She has a hard time getting up from sitting , often needing help and has just been informed needs to go through dialysis. I have been providing transportation, compassion and care that is requested/needed. I would like to know what I need to do to be a paid caregiver by the state of Arizona.
There are two great articles written by AgingCare.com editor’s that were already posted in our community. We thought this might answer your caregiving question. These are all based on a national level, but it's a start!
