Can I get financial help when taking care of my grandmother?

I have been taking care of her for about 6 months.

Is your grandmother on Medicaid? Some states will pay a family member or friend to provide care. Apparently, it is usually a small amount for a limited number of hours. I am not sure if Arizona offers this program.

Is your grandmother the widow of a veteran? There may be some assistance possible through the VA.

It might be useful to check with your county's Area Agency on Aging for help in determining any and all assistance your grandmother is eligible for. Here is the website for Pima County:

The helpline is (520) 790-7262.

Good luck!
