Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
If your asking for help, better you start your own thread. Your question gets lost in someone elses thread. But to answer you, need to call your local Social Services.
When I google this there is a whole ton of stuff online about Florida's program. It is apparently based on the recipient of the care being on Medicaid, and there are qualifications for the caregiver as well. This is something you will have to go online and research for yourself as I cannot seem to get a single link to pop up for me. I did find this:
"Medicaid’s Cash and Counseling Program One option for family caregivers in Florida is Medicaid’s Cash and Counseling Program. This program provides cash payments to eligible Medicaid recipients who need assistance with daily living activities, including bathing, dressing, and eating. Family members can be hired as caregivers and receive payment through this program. To be eligible for the Cash and Counseling Program, the recipient must be enrolled in Florida’s Medicaid program and require a nursing home level of care. The recipient must also be able to manage the program’s financial aspects or have a representative who can do so. Finally, the recipient must live in a setting other than a nursing home, such as their own home or a family member’s home. Florida’s Home and Community-Based Services Waiver Another program that may provide financial assistance to family caregivers in Florida is the Home and Community-Based Services Waiver. This program is designed to help Medicaid recipients avoid nursing home placement by providing services in their own homes. Under this program, family members can be hired as caregivers and receive payment. However, the caregiver must be certified........................................" and etc.
So I recommend you do a google search of your own OR call Florida Medicaid office. www.medicaid.gov will get you all numbers and websites for all states.
Good luck on your researching. Hope others can direct you more easily. Do know that your elder will have to QUALIFY for Medicaid both financially (in need) and physically (in need). And you will have to meet qualifications as well.
In general, getting paid to keep our elders out of care doesn't work for the one doing the care because it gives you not enough to live on, no job history, and may leave you homeless upon the death of the recipient of the aid when Medicaid comes to call to do clawback on any funds invested.
