Hello Ralph Robbins. Mom is in NH medicare rehab now and when discharged, going to my sister's house to live. Mom is 90 yrs. mentally alert, but very crabby alot of the time. She requires standby assistance or minimum to moderate assistance with all ADL's. Not qualifying for Medicaid currently.
thank you
You mentioned that your Mom does not qualify for Medicaid. If she did qualify, In some States there is a Medicaid program where a grown child can receive some type of hourly rate for a limited number of hours each day. Each State is different with their budgets and programs.
Hopefully others will come in to give answers where they have seen certain programs actually paid a grown child for caregiving.
And I hope Ralph Robbins will give his opinion on this situation, too, as he has excellent advice.
