I dress, bathe, grocery shop and accompany to doctors visits.

holjenness, welcome to the forum. Yes, you can get paid if your mother can budget her funds in order to pay you. Otherwise, if she cannot, and your mother qualifies for Medicaid (different from Medicare), your State Medicaid office might be able to pay you. Please note the pay would probably be minimum wage for a few hours per week.


I believe the reason the number of hours is low is that within a family household, one would be doing cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping anyway for the family. Note, Medicaid is funded by the taxpayers.

No, you likely cannot, but if your mom qualifies for Medicaid and is on it you certain can ask her medicaid worker this question. You can also explore the Medicaid site for your State, and the Medicare and Medicaid sites online governmental sites to research this.
I wish you luck.

I don't know about getting paid for full-time help, but most states do allow Medicaid to pay for a few hours of help each week. You'll have to check with your social services dept. to see what your mom may qualify for.
