Yes a family member can be paid for taking care of another family but only after becoming a licensed home care worker which can take quite a bit of time. First orientation and then you wait for your thorough background check to be completed. Given that I am a licensed home care worker I was able to become my father's care giver when he fell terminally ill. If 24/7 care is something that your loved one requires, you might want to seek assistance from an agency that provides in-home hospice/palliative care. I used Lumina Hospice and Palliative care to assist with my father's care and they were pretty decent. A service like that can really lift a lot of weight off of your shoulders. A place called Love Inc. can also be a great resource. They will donate, deliver, and set-up all kinds of medical equipment and supplies such as medical beds, commodes, etc. I hope this helps. I wish the best for you and your loved ones. God bless.
I also take care of my mom. It was a bit of a fight tho because they would rather someone outside the family did the care.
Yes they can...I am my mother's caregiver and get paid 😊
Thank you. Actually, this is in behalf of my wife . My mother in law live with us and she is a 24 7 care. We just don't know where to begin.
