Income Caring for Father
Hi, I take care of my father and have for several years. I'm the youngest of 4 children but the only one that cares for our father. He has Alzheimers and I have been going back and forth from my home in CT to his in Buffalo, NY for about 3 years now. He has gotten worse and is now getting to the point that I need to stay in his home. I am asking if you could help me find some place that pays related caregivers for taking care of their of their parents or family members. My father isn't on medicaid or medicare so that doesn't help me. He was given some really poor advice when he retired and now we're paying the price for his trusting ways and for being so naive.
