Thank you for sharing this information. You mentioned that the elder must have Medicaid. Can the elder have Medicare(and no Medicaid) and get qualified for this home care paid services? Thanks again.
I'm unfamiliar with the Medicare waivers at this point. My dad has both, but the program that allows for this is his Medicaid. You can receive services at home through Medicare, but I don't know if any allow for you or another family member to be paid. If your elder hasn't applied for Medicaid, I'd start there. Also, you may want to subscribe to my new caregiver channel @thecasualcaregiver here on youtube as well. I plan on hosting something live very soon to try and answer some questions. Here's the info I'd start with to apply - georgia.gov/apply-elderly-and-disabled-waiver-program
Actually, California is a completely different beast, and I'm not sure how the rules and options are set up there, but start with the Department of Community Health and ask them to point you to the available options!

The first step is applying for Medicaid. You have to start there. Then you'll be able to determine what programs she qualifies for and her doctor can help by designating that she needs care as well. But it all starts with Medicaid. She should also have Medicare which has its own similar benefits. There's a large book mailed every year to the home. But contact the medicaid office and get connected to an advocate or case manager.
The state of Maryland has been a nightmare trying to get monetary aid for taking care of my mom with dementia. I've run into roadblocks and it is difficult. I understand youre in Georgia, I'm in Maryland and I call call call no responds or numbers are disconnected. If there is any information you can give please do. Soo overwhelmed.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I do not have any information on Maryland, but what offices are you calling? If your mother has medicaid, I'd start there. There are typically advocacy groups in some places. But I would definitely start there. Also your state's Dept of Community Health or Dept of Public health! They should be ablt to get you pointed in the right direction. I've googled people in my state to find email addresses and back phone numbers to try and get someone. I hope this helps a bit!
Hello, glad it's helpful! You have to select from the list of participating agencies that they provide based on your region/area/insurance type, so I don't actually provide my specific agency to ensure people reach out to get the participating list.
@@seedzofinsight The person has to have medicaid. I am only familiar with the CCSP program. Ask the case manager for a list of SFC providers (Structured Family Caregiving) or the other program which actually allows you to work (Paid Family Caregiver). The case manager should be able to guide you through completing the necessary paperwork that will be sent to the agency you select. Then the agency will employ you as a W-2 employee. But it all starts will having medicaid because they pay for the service agency which then pays you. You clock in and out at home like a regular emplyee.

Just discover your channel I'm in SC. I have a friend who cares for son would she be able to get info about being a paid caregiver for her child from his c.manager or through the Medicaid Dept.
Hi! I only have information for GA, but I would think the answer is yes. Have your friend ask the case manager for information and if the case manager doesn't know how it works (a lot of them don't) then keep pressing for a manager or someone higher up who should be well-versed in the process. And go to the Medicaid site contacts.
@@seedzofinsight Depends on the program and where you live. There are programs for autism and similar. You need to connect with Medicaid and a case manager to determine eligibility.

Is Appendix K permanent? I thought it was until they considered the health crisis to be over? But the way things or going it may never be. I worry they would decide it’s over all of a sudden and switch gears. What’s your take on it?
I'm concerned about that too and we just don't know honestly. With these viruses and the impact they would have on a disabled or elderly person, I hope they're smart enough to keep it around. Other states like NY have BEEN allowing people to be compensated for doing the work, so I hope GA sees the benefit of it and it stays around. Rolling it back would be detrimental to those who have gotten used to it, and I'd absolutely send letters and try to find another way to make it happen.
Hello I only know about GA so you'll have to do some searching. Here's a quick think I located but you'll need to contact Medicaid - www.caregiver.org/connecting-caregivers/services-by-state/north-carolina/
Hello, I am not familiar with TN processes. I've only resided in GA so I would suggest contacting the Medicare or Medicaid case manager and force them to share the resources! Also, the Dept of Community Health or Dept of Public Health. That's where those resources are managed. So it depends on if they have Medicare or Medicaid and then you go from there!
The first step is Medicaid. Depending on your state you have to start there. Then you'll be able to determine what programs she qualifies for and her doctor can help by designating that she needs care as well. But it all starts with Medicaid.
You'll need to have a family member on Medicaid and I've shared the information for the state of GA in the description bar of this video: ua-cam.com/video/pgUsctnwdco/v-deo.htmlsi=HM42A3QRNRE1Vtgl
The video is just over 5 minutes long, so it doesn't require much effort to listen. Step-by-step instructions can be found on the Internet and vary based on your location. So, while I appreciate your feedback, my page is not the space for 1, 2, 3 instructions. People appreciate context. So, if you're interested in getting additional steps, please visit your local Medicaid website.

I haven't found anything as of yet and I am in search of programs. I need some freaking understanding and a beginning. Please help

I got a letter regarding this but they said I couldn’t have any other full time work
What state are you in? Appendix K allows you to work. The Structured Family Caregiving program does not.
Are children eligible? If so, how can I apply?
@@modpunchdesigns3470 That will depend on what your state says. But yes, in GA children are eligible to participate.
In North Carolina in 66 she is 89 my mother need help cannot use tolie t or bath on medicaid
Request home health aide through Medicaid and/or Medicare.

Great question, but they'll know you're working once you file taxes.
