azdes.gov specifically states the only way you would get paid is if you are an employee of the caregiving agency that Medicaid has assigned them to.
Medicare is a dead end, they will not pay you at all, and offer homecare only through licensed agencies and only for a temporary period after a hospital stay.
So, like so many others, you have jumped into a non-paying situation.
Most parents are horrified when you ask to be paid.
