I take care of my mom who has Alzheimer’s. How do I get paid for being her caregiver?
I live in Arizona. I am having a hard time finding reliable caregivers to take care of her so I can go to work. I heard there’s a way to get paid being her family caregiver.
I’m not sure about Arizona’s laws but here we have a branch of the state health care system called. IHSS in home health support. if your mother is at a low enough income level then she would qualify for this care. you'll have to look at the social service agency in your area. Good luck!
just found this;
The Arizona Long-Term Care System (ALTCS) is a public program that supplies some people who are blind, disabled, or over the age of 65 with various services. One of the benefits ALTCS offers to some people is Personal Assistance Services (PAS), so they can live safely in theirown homes.
