I am a resident of MN. My father is a resident of MS. He is hospitalized in MN. He wants to stay in MN to be close to his children. I am a CNA and my husband is a LPN. Can he live in our home and can I be compensated for caring for him in our home as I would have to go on leave from my current job to do this. He cannot afford nursing home care and I cannot afford to give up my wages.
Another suggestion would be for your Dad to be accepted by Medicaid and live in your home. Depending on your State Medicaid programs [each State is different] you could be paid by the State, but note that the pay would be minimal. And you might find yourself being on leave for many years depending on your Dad's age related issues. My parents lived into their 90's.
