I am the principle caregiver for such a person. We are room mates and since we are not married I get paid for 5 hours a day 7 days a week to stay home with him instead of working out side of the home. He has no other friends. Since I am considered his employee (even though Medicaid pays me - Ohio rules) I can not have POA for him. He is now on hospice care and I am wondering who will make the decisions for him. When I ask him his preferences, he says all he cares about it that I not be bothered with it. I, however, care - so I am bothered already. LOL
