How can I get my caregiver paid?

i am in a wheel chair, a good friend of mine does a lot for me, and how do I get him paid to do that? He cooks goes to the store when I can't or not able to. I use a PowerChair for every thing I do around the house. I am able to do a few things but my roommate he does what I can't do. How can I get him payed to do that.

Contact your state's Council on Aging, too. They usually have a lot info on local resources.

Depending on the state you live in there may be programs specifically for this. What type of health insurance do you have? Are you on disability or any sort of government assistance? I ask because that may help expedite things if your state does have a program that allows you to hire caregivers directly.

Most caregivers are unpaid, unless the person who is receiving care has the funds to pay them. There are limited other funds. Check with your insurance policy. Check with local agencies for funding or assistance.
