This question is for family members paid to care give through a medicaid waiver.
How does it work financially? Do you get paid enough? I know pay varies state to state, but i just want to get an idea before I meet with her DSS worker.
How many hours of care are you allowed to bill for?
Do you work completely alone or do you get some assistance and guidance from a home health company?
How does billing Medicaid work?
How does respite care work for you? Do you have someone come every week to give you a day off? Do you only get respite care for when you're going out of town? Do you struggle to find respite care?
How do you manage medicines? Do you consult with a nurse at a home health company?
