Can I get my friend compensation for helping me in home?

I have cirrhosis of the liver, arthritis, chronic cervical & knee pain, anxiety, some memory issues Just to name a few issues. But I have help in home with medications, appointments, organization & household chores. I want to keep this person but then any compensation, as I have Medicaid /gateway health insurance. Can I get help?

Medicaid in your state pays for some limited home health care & must be prescribed by your doctor. Contact your Medicaid caseworker. Caregiver programs are actually not few and far between, every single has multiple programs.

The way she gets compensated is you pay her.
If you have a social worker involved with you the social worker may be aware of programs that would pay her. But these are few and far between.
