Paid Homecare, or something like that. Anyone know?

[Synful*Luv]

Hey,

I've heard of a program where a relative can be compensated an amount to stay home and take care of another relative who is currently unable to take care of themselves. It's something I want to look into as my gram's health has deteriorated rapidly in recent months and she needs constant care now. Anyone have any information on this? I can't seem to find anything online. Perhaps it doesn't exist?

Thanks. Syn

Don't know your location but in the UK its called carers allowance.

It's really not much but its better than nothing I guess.

My mom is a diabetic with heart trouble and arthritis, and at one point it looked like she would need a carer so I looked into it but thankfully she pulled through.

Something like this exists in germany as well. So there is a chance it should exist in the us too.

It seems like it does, most people have heard of it but I can't seem to fish out any legitimate information about it via the internet. Maybe i'm searching for the wrong thing.
