Find Care & Housing
You technically "applied" to be your spouses caregiver when you signed the dotted line on your marriage license, and said your wedding vows.
Most if not all spouses do not get paid for caring for their spouse as it is a given when one is married that they will care for and look after each other till death do they part.
Now that being said if your spouse is on Medicaid they do offer a few hours of pay weekly to family members or someone from the outside.
Also if your wife is a veteran she may be eligible for some aide and assistance, but not sure if that aid can be from you or if it has to be a trained caregiver.
Other than that I'm not aware of any other options other than your wife paying you out of her pocket which in all reality is out of your pocket as well so doesn't make sense.
I wish you well in giving your wife the best care possible.
