I heard i can have help economically when i bring my mother to care for her at home.
I will not be able to work and any help with money will be a Godsend.
Where can I find out information on this? My mother is coming next week.
Thank you

When I talked to the lady from Aging and Disability in this area, she said I could be paid, but I had to be hired by an organization called Soceity’s Assets, trained by them, mom would be assessed, what needed to be done and how long it took. I would be paid for maybe 5 hours of caregiving at probably $8 or less….this is set up through Medicad. I said, uh no thanks.
For you, this may be acceptable and doable, it was not for me. So, look for your local Aging and Disability org or Senior Services, ElderCare that type of thing, they can direct you and give you the info you need.
