If a person makes x amount per year, but the person is disabled and has to have a live in caregiver 24/7 365 days a year. After paying caregiver, person barely has enough money for food, prescriptions, utilities, real estate taxes, home and auto insurance, incontinence supplied, home maintenance, etc. How does she qualify for any assistance, prescriptions, food????
Maybe the living arrangements need to be changed. A live in caregiver should be paid at least $700 a week that is $2800 a month. Who gts that much disability?
Is this an elder or a younger person? As Jeanne asks, what assistance has been sought from the disability caseworker?
