I have poa, can my moms trust pay me when the time comes that i stop working to take care of her,or when she comes to live in my home? mom has dementia and i am one of four siblings. the will is split four equel ways . i am the only one caring for her ,the others live out of state and no one visits for 20 years now
She is 86 years old, still rather independent (although I have to watch what she is doing because she makes little mistakes, i.e. putting a salad in the freezer instead of the refrigerator - small stuff like that).
I make sure she takes her meds everyday, get them from the drug store, etc. I also do her grocery shopping, wash her clothe;. cook for her most of the time; bathe her; try to get her outside everyday and do a little exercising and get some fresh air. I sit with her so she can tell me about her life and give her companionship. She does not like for anyone else to do these things for her, just me. I am kinda stuck in the house, unless I can get my mom to come over for a few days (they get along well).
My question is this: With my receiving $698.00 per month from ssi, which doesn't go far, can I get Medicare and/or Humana pay for my services? That would be such a blessing right now.
Thanking anyone who can answer in advance for their time and interest, I am
