Hi, Googleeye2.

What state are you in? Some states have programs where a family member can be paid for caregiving (not a lot) if their loved one is on Medicaid. CA is one of them.

Also some caregivers are paid directly by their loved ones; for instance, my dad pays me for caregiving from the money he gets from his pension.

If your dad pays you directly, then you will need a written contract saying what you will do as a caregiver and how much you will be paid. This is possible only if he is competent to understand and do this.

Such a contract is important if he ever needs to file for Medicaid. They will want to know why you got money from him in their 5 year look back.
