Re: [QUAD-L] caregiver blues
Ok, here is how you do it in california. You have lawyer set up a trust that's sole job is to take care of your stuff. Your stuff belongs to the trust, house, bank accounts, Cars, everything. This trust takes care of yuor bills. You name yourself as the CEO.(this is where you pay your bills.) Pay yourself the legal Amount you can make. Now you own nothing. It is a bit schizophrenic, but now you can get state help. Ask a lawyer in California first. You might want to keep your SSDI coming in your name (Ha).

RE: [QUAD-L] caregiver blues
I live in New Hampshire and to qualify for Medicaid you are allowed to own a house and a car and still qualify for Medicaid. A couple of years ago I tried renting the upstairs to college students. The rent was $50 a month. However, I had no takers. I live 10 miles from campus. They all said that was too far as they like to party and don't want to have to drive home. Go figure?

RE: [QUAD-L] caregiver blues
I don't think there is an over doing it. It all depends on how much work they do and how long you want them to last. It's not a job real motivated people look into. So the more you pay the better quality of work ethic you get. Greg _ I give my caregiver $9.00 an hour -- he works an average of 30 hours a week. And in exchange I Rent to him my old house.
