The last few years my mom had friends helping her with things in her home, bathing, meals, Dr appt. She didn't feel right having them help all the time and wanted to give them some money for doing so. Since they weren't actually hired as "employees" will this hurt her when it's time to apply for medicaid? She has been in a NH since December.
People are allowed to spend money for their care; they are not allowed to gift family members and other persons.
