How Can I Get Paid for Taking Care of My Elderly Parents?
How to get paid for being a caregiver. Learn how caregivers can get paid for caring for their elderly mom or dad. Financial help is available for taking care of elderly parents

One of the articles seems to try to address your question but guess it depends on what state you are in and other factors. I don't get paid but by keeping my mother at home instead of placing her in a Medicaid nursing home, I get some assistance with home health aide but it is a fraction of what is needed for someone who needs someone there 24 hours a day.
