How can I get paid for taking care of elderly father?

Alan, the vast majority of grown children who are caregivers for their parents do not get paid.... unless the parent can pay from their own retirement funds. If yes, then you and your father would need to draw up an employment agreement. Here is a sample of the agreement: https://www.agingcare.com/documents/personal_care_agreement_AgingCare.pdf

Another option is to contact your State Medicaid office [Medicaid is different from Medicare] to see if your State might have a payment program. If the State has such a program, please note the pay would be minimal.
