I am caring for an elderly man with alhizmers. in my home. he is not a relitive how and who pays for this type of care. it is costing me and I don't feel I shoul be doing this for nothing anymore.
Contact your local Dept of Human Services, they can send out a social worker to set up application process for this man to move out of your home and into a facility.
Contact your county agency on aging for programs such as Case Management, Meals on Wheels, Adult Day Care, housing, care referrals, etc,... go to the website link below.... click on your State.... now click on the city/county. https://www.agingcare.com/local/Area-Agency-on-Aging
How do you know he doesn't qualify for Medicaid? If he has assets that disqualify him, he should be using those to pay for care. If you are destitute, you can get Medicaid.
he Is just an friend. he pays 400 a month rent. he has his own entrance bedroom and bath, cable, and all utilities paid for him. does not qualify for medicad and is not a vet. guess im out of luck.
You are right. Who is this person to you? In some states Medicaid will allow payment to in home caregivers, but it is a very small amount. Veterans Administration had "Aid and Attendance" but he would be the applicant and need to be a veteran that was in the aervice during war time. But, usually when home care is provided it is the person receiving the care that pays the caregiver from their own funds.
