How much will I get paid to care for my mother at home?

JoAnn29 Nov 2018
Where I live, there are agencies who will train family members to care for LO. They then become an employee and sometimes have benefits. I would say that they would pay no more than $10 an hour.

Usually most caregivers who are paid are paid by there parents out of their funds. There is some Medicaid money available is she qualifies for Medicaid. It is $10 - $12 per hour for a few hours per week. If one of your parents was a wartime veteran there might be VA money. Contact the VA in your state. Also, contact your Area Agency for Aging to see if they know of any other program for which you could apply.
