Mothering While Caregiving
Entrepreneurship for Moms
Medicaid Resources
My husband was approved to join the CCSP-Medicaid program via our state/region’s department on aging/disability after he was first diagnosed and needed to leave work on disability.
In 2020, his social worker later approved him and referred him to have a family member become his live-in paid caregiver. This was a blessing for about a year, but that family member was no longer able to fill that role.
In 2021, due to the pandemic, his social worker sent a letter to a home health agency chosen by us in our current region so that they can hire me, his wife, as his caregiver.
[Both caregiver programs are called “structured family caregiving”.]
COVID-RELATED RESOURCES
