I receive a sum of $1,500 to help me keep my studio 2 hours away. I spend 90% of every waking hour at my aunts house caring for her room and board included for this. I am not wealthy and at 1st I declined any money but she insisted and I am glad now going on 3 years i appreciate the money that pays for my other home and gas to and from. She has the money and wants to pay me more because she loves the arrangement. Being able to live out her years at her home of 50 years. I have suggested many time I would help her find a quality living home 6that6 would help her not to be lonely and healthy for me to move. Is $1.500 too much? she wants to give me $2,000 a month I guess because I give such great care and thinks I may leave her i guess. is it bad to except it if she says she can do it she 92
I suggest a clearly worded agreement that spells out what you do for her and what she is paying you. Both of you sign it. That helps answer any issues that may arise among family members.
If POA has any misgivings about this expenditure, she is welcome to try to find quality care for less.
