Hello, I have an elderly parent. I would like to hire somebody for four hours a day to help with bathing and feeding my mother, clothing my father, and doing light housework. What forms do I need to fill out? If I pay her under the table what could be the possible consequences?
If eligible, Medicaid may prrovide a waiver for a few hours a week of help. If there is a Veteran, VA Aid and Attendance May be available.
To find caregivers you need to look in your area. Your County Office of aging may be able to help. If finances are a problem, Medicaid may help.
