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:
I suggest burying it in a jar in the back yard. Some say that the freezer works. Some suggest cereal boxes, but I have heard a couple of those got thrown away. There's always the sock drawer, behind the bookcase, under the cellar stairs. Some prefer using it as padding inside boots, but they say it gets stinky. I am kind of hoping this is a joke, but likely it isn't, because there's simply no underestimating our minds for creative ideas. Some here suggest you are not joking, so I would like to remind you that lying on Government forms, defrauding the government, may be considered a crime. And I hear the Government isn't fond of such behavior.
Unless you're receiving funds from private people or enterprises and sequestering it w/o reporting it, I can't imagine what kind of funds you could be receiving that aren't subject to a paper trail at some level.
I agree with FreqFlyer; if you have funds, they should be used for your care. Is there some special reason you don't want to use them for that purpose?
What is your money for if not to provide for your care? By hiding your money, you are forcing other people to pay for your needs. That is using the government to steal for you.
Every single woman ever born into my family had ............”secret assets”. Every single one without fail.
I always thought it might have been an Irish thing- Grandma came from Ireland at 14, lied about her age until she was married, and had a hanky with her money knotted in it that lived in her underwear until she got to Aunt Katies’ house in Jackson Heights.
One hundred years later, $300 in a shoe box in the back of a closet, with shoe polish and rags carefully arranged on top, so that the casual eye couldn’t see it, hidden by Grandma’s youngest, now 93.
Maybe not genetic, but they all wanted to be sure it was there if they ran into a rainy day......
Sure! You can hide it in a coffee can on top of the refrigerator too! The possibilities are endless. But you should probably be using it for your care?
The only way you can do it is if you've had a lot of cash that was kept out of bank accounts for years so it can't be traced. So yes, if you've had a personal piggy bank (I suppose a security box would work too) and stuffed it with cash you can hide that money.

First I thought you were joking until I read your profile.
I am kind of hoping this is a joke, but likely it isn't, because there's simply no underestimating our minds for creative ideas.

I agree with FreqFlyer; if you have funds, they should be used for your care. Is there some special reason you don't want to use them for that purpose?
The stimulus checks do not need to be reported as an asset for one year to Medi-Cal, Medicaid, etc. I could be wrong.
Whatever you do, remember living an honest life is a good thing. It may be a more difficult road to follow, but you will have no regrets.
Do not hide your money under the mattress, the caregivers who come to change your sheets will find it.
What is your goal?
