It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.

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:
If you are giving up a job, no its not enough. At 40 hrs a week thats only 6.25 an hour way below minimum wage. Its been discussed before on the forum that IRS does not consider an aide as self-employed. The Labor laws say room and board cannot be considered part of a wage. That a live in should get minimum wage. Where I live thats $12 an hour. Your state is 7.25. Anything over 40 hrs a week in time and half and time off. A live-in does not work 24/7. When she is off duty, someone else needs to be hired. As your employer, payroll taxes need to be deducted and sent to the appropriate agencies. You should have a care agreement and a back up plan.
Me, I would not give up my life for a boyfriend. They come and go. You need to be accumulating Social Security credits.
Although this is the only post that's listed, I think we've heard from you before...? "I am caring for my boyfriends mother full time. I have moved in with her and put my business on hold while doing so. I am not getting compensated and I’m becoming a little resentful. She does not qualify for Medicaid or any assistance."
Alva, I thought she was asking from the client side. But it still comes down to the same thing. AmyJo, $1000 for 729.14 hours in a month (24/7) is literally $1.37/hour. The people who would even want to do this are probably reeled in with the "free room and board" deal, which can result in ll-tenant disputes.
PeggySue I FORGOT About that, so thank you a lot for mentioning. In many states and in many cities if someone occupies a place long enough to receive mail there they are considered a tenant even if they do not pay ANYTHING. They can stay often at minimun 3 months without paying while the courts sort through it all and they can get paid to move out. So it would be a nightmare to dislodge someone you didn't want staying in many areas.
For how many hours of care? What is going rental in your area? Are you able to leave him alone to get on with your REAL job, real life? What I am saying is that this seldom works out for the elders, the families or the "caregivers". Were I you I would get a job with an agency and get my own housing. You will run into legal problems and etc with someone who moves you into their home to care for them, let along running into problems of any other nature. I cannot speak to your individual situation as I know nothing about it, but in general, no, don't do this, and don't certainly do it for pay "under the table" and without a care contract and trip to an elder law attorney. That person will give you cautions enough.

"I am caring for my boyfriends mother full time. I have moved in with her and put my business on hold while doing so. I am not getting compensated and I’m becoming a little resentful. She does not qualify for Medicaid or any assistance."
Why on earth did you agree to this?
Why doesn't she qualify for Medicaid, per your profile?
What is going rental in your area?
Are you able to leave him alone to get on with your REAL job, real life?
What I am saying is that this seldom works out for the elders, the families or the "caregivers".
