This is how it should always be with family and friends taking care of their own elderly loved ones instead of families depending on CNAs all the time because sometimes we CNAs can't be there for them like family members can
Your elder has to be tragically poor to take advantage of this. I'm taking care of 2 80+, luckily with my sister. It's a tremendous amount of work. The nursing home was neglectful and there is no way anyone should be in there. This is a problem for most. Too bad there aren't programs to help most of America.
This video leaves out the fact that it is up to each STATE whether they allow family members to get paid via this program. Some states, like NC do NOT allow family members to be paid via this program, while states like Colorado DO. It's kind of like it being up to each state whether or not to allow those making less than 12,000 per year to have their health insurance covered by Medicaid to fill the gap in the Affrdable Health Care Program. The NC Republicans, wanting to be SPITEFUL, refused this program, even though the Federal Government would be covering the costs. They also refuse to allow family members to get paid via the Medicaid program. Most states that allow family caregivers to get paid via the Medicare program also expanded the Medicaid program to cover the poorest in their state, those making less than $12,000 per year. For some, this may be a case of voting with your feet....meaning, MOVE to a state friendlier to the poor and friendlier to health care rights. States that put their citizens ABOVE petty politics.
I'm interested in caregiving services for my mother in Florida who is at this moment and has lived almost all her life here in New York which we are still residing here but soon-to-retire myself I would like to change the atmosphere for her and move to Florida but I'm a little concerned about what kind of services I could get on board with my mom over there in Florida I need a vice from someone experienced like you seem to be
Nevermind this is New York state I'm interested in Florida State I am already on board in an agency with my mom I'm trying to find out about agencies in Florida Orlando
I’m sorry about her condition look Into Keto for Epilepsy, I met people who came to our classroom to teach about it and it does help some people with epilepsy
I live near Fayetteville NC and have done some research into this and found that NC is one of the states that does NOT allow family members to be paid caregivers under this program. Whereas a state like Colorado does. So unfortunately, the short answer for you is the same as it was for me.....MOVE to a friendlier state that allows family members to get paid. So far, I have not made a move, but still weighing my different options, including care giving facilities in Mexico and abroad. Mexico is looking like it is the most practical or at least the easiest route. In Mexico, my mother's Social Security payments would pay the full amount of the care giving facilities costs. Here in the US, it would only pay a fraction of the cost.
@@dewboy910 all of my wife's medical bills are completely paid by the government. She had brain surgery at UNC chapel Hill and it would have costed tens of thousands of dollars but the government paid for it.
This is adding HUGE burden on other people NOT in the health care industry, that would have to add additional stress and burden and also additional financial burden, even though they would receive s "stripend" every month. Look at the man. He's tired out! When will his wife also be exhausted from this? What about dementia patients that yell, are emotionally abusive, wander, have bladder problems, need nursing assistance etc. This the "future" of senior care? Wow. Time to move to another country!
