I quit my lucrative job to stay at home to take care of my aging parent. Her doctor advised me of programs that pay children to care for their aging parent when medical assistance is not necessary, but assistance is needed. Although I find many references on the internet that support this, I still can't find out how to get this assistance.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE OR SOLUTIONS?
STILL ASKING FOR HELP, PLEASE!
As for work from home jobs, be careful with fake promises.
hire you as her caregiver however in most states you will be ineligible to be her paid caregiver if you are her POA. You should rethink giving up your lucrative job because if your mom cannot afford to pay you, then at most you will be paid minimum wage to a little over minimum wage, with no benefits and no paid time off. In fact you won’t even be paid to take care of her full time. You need to think about your own future here....
Thats what's so difficult, all these families take care of the one making the sacrifices by not working, let alone the abuse I get from the whole family because everyone thinks I'm not doing what I should!
I don't want to complain I just want this to end and have my life back and be able to make my own decisions. My sisters are having a blast making my life as tough as it can be without lifting a finger or putting in a dollar to just be nice.
We recently lost our car and now it's up to me to find the solution. That being said if anyone knows of an inexpensive decent car in Houston area or a program to help me, I'd welcome any ideas.
i did contact Medicaid and they said there is no such program. Why is it all over the Internet?
i guess I was hoping someone had been through my situation and could give me step by step instructions. But I know each situation is different.
I do do thank you for caring, this is the first time anyone has listened to me.
Just a warning: These stipends are usually very small amounts.
needy. There is also Community First choice and the requirements are the basically same-your mom has to be on Medicaid and need nursing home level care.
Any help with living expenses helps take the pressure off and can provide extra available cash to take care of other needs.
If your sister's are going out of their way to make life harder, I recommend cutting contact with them. Whatever sick game they are playing can only draw you in if you allow it. Don't ask for help, don't share information and learn to hang up and walk away without engaging in their hateful behavior. You can't change them, but you can change how you deal with them.
Best of luck finding solutions for your situation.
You say we lost our car, is that you and mom or do you have others living with you?
