I moved my parent's in with me a month ago. I am a full time student, unemployed and receiving Food Stamps. Due to my Mom's dementia/ Alzheimer's and her safety issues as well as my stepdad's disability, I moved them in with myself and 7 year old daughter. They were to the point of not being able to take care of each other any more. My mom's confusion was becoming a danger to her health. I take them to multiple doctor's appts. and do not leave them alone for long periods of time. I am wondering is their financial assistance available to me, for providing their care? Do they have to pay me with their Social Security?.
If your parents qualifie for Medicaid, the State might allow a trained Caregiver from an Agency to come in to help a couple hours a day. Check to see if your State has “Cash and Counseling” program to help you out. Note that each State has their own rules, regulations, and programs. Some have waiting lists.
