I am currently looking for wheelchair accessible apartments in South Carolina with a friend. I heard a while back that since I am paralyzed from the T3 vertebrae and in a wheelchair due to it that my friend that would be living with me could register as a care giver with the state and get paid since he would be helping me with some things such as laundry, cooking, etc. I am currently getting SSDI and we both have a job but are trying to make as much as possible so that we don't have to worry about the rising rent in our area. Any replies would be helpful and thank you!
Where is that money going to come from is your question.
The answer is from you.
There isn't a golden goose to provide money for his caregiving. It isn't any different than you paying a company for in-home care.
It's really no different than paying a babysitter.
I hope your friend/roommate can get paid. Let us know.
