yes. if she goes to her local office des for help fills out the paper work and explains that she caring for a sick elderly person which he’s a dependent, they will most likely give her money.
try and google for a office near her so she can go as soon as possible.
I don’t know about other jurisdictions but in my area, what is called ‘kinship care’ is NOT reimbursable or provided with upfront funds. UNfortunately.
My Mom has Alzheimers and lives in an Assisted Living/Secured site facility and it costs over $6K a year!
Even if I were not working FT, I could not care for her as it would call for 24 hr oversight by a professional.
Thankfully my Dad left her with enough income for us to pay for this service, although in July ’08 we had to move her due to the previous facility going up to $8K per month!
I TRY not to worry about what would happen if this happened to me, as I do NOT have this kind of financial resource as she has.
My niece is paid to care for her half brother who has severe C.P.
The doctors need to certify the man needs 24/7 care. Call Social Security, or check and see if the mayors office in your area has a person who deals with the disabled. Good Luck to your Friends and kudos for being a good friend and asking. My niece also lives in CA.
