The “home health” program is a scam. Basically, paying your kids to take care of elder parents.......that is what you are supposed to be doing. There are ads all over TV ( a sure sign there is unchecked $$ floating around ).
The real problem is there are plenty of people who think everything should be free. They want someone to do something....that someone is someone else. SCUM
Case 1: Mom has a difference residence from caregiver
If she moves in with a caregiver:
1. what she pays for rent can be given by her to the caregiver, or
2. her house can be sold and the proceeds used her care
If the caregiver moves in with her:
1. caregiver no longer needs to pay rent (or a mortgage)
2. caregiver would probably qualify for highly subsidized PPACA premiums
Case 2: Mom has same residence caregiver
Her Social Security can pay for rent (or the mortgage).
Caregiver would probably qualify for highly subsidized PPACA premiums.
