Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
How old are your Uncles? Do they live together? Do they have cognitive decline as well?
You don't give much information but I would do it, but I would have a written contract for each one of them.
Do either of them have assigned PoAs? If not, who would be paying you? If it's them and not a PoA, what will happen at the time they become cognitively unable to manage their finances, like becoming forgetful or paranoid due to dementia? You may not be able to convince them they owe you money. Happens all the time.
If they don't have PoAs assigned, and they're not willing to assign you, then I would not take this on. And do not go by promises of them leaving you the house or property since Medicaid (should they require it) will put a lien on it for future owners to deal with.
They can just hire an agency or go into a facility if they don't like this arrangement.
Ok so I was looking online and it looked to me like medicare or medicare has a thing to where live in caregivers get paid for taking care of family memy
Medicaid (not Medicare) can pay for *some* inhome caregiving but your Uncles have to qualify both medically and financially -- each. From what I read on this forum, the family caregiver gets minimum wage (or thereabouts) and is not paid for full-time hours. It all varies by state. Some states have a "waiver" program but again, they have to qualify.
I have no idea or your age or training, but if you become a registered nurse you can have a career where you can care for others, plus get paid, plus have days off & enjoy a full & balanced life.
Being a live-in for two relatives I feel would not have the same outcomes. Risks of your time, care & nature being taken for granted. It CAN work out well. But this must be a fair deal for all parties.
Is this plan coming from yourself? As a career choice? Or is there any family pressure/obligations?
You will be lucky if you get paid for one let alone two. Medicaid is the only program that may pay you. But as said, both Uncles have to gualify. If they have money, they can pay you. Make up a contract and have it notarized. You deserve something for your work other than a roof over your head. And when they become 24/7 care where u get no time off, time for a NH.
