T:caregiver question	Q:my mother has dementia,  along with other illnesses. she cannot be left alone and is almost bedreddin. my father works <time_period> a week,  and isnt exactly in great health either. i have fibro and cfs,  and do what i can to help. my sister works fulltime as a <professional_practitioner>. is there any way or agency out there that would allow her to care for my mother fulltime and get paid for it?. any info would be greatly appreciated. thankyou, . <name>	A:Where do you live? I know here in <location>,  if someone cares for a person who has a disability they can get paid by the government - it's not a lot but it's something. Also too,  you may want to ask this question to your mother's insurance company (she does have insurance?).  


A:Check with the county office on aging where your parents live. I understand what you are going through and you absolutely must get help. I too have fibro plus other bad pain and both my parents have Alzheimer's and live in an <institution> with an aide. It is so difficult to understand and deal with. The main thing is to get the help and take good care of yourself.  Good luck with everything! 


A:Totally agree with <name> on this check out insurance policies. hoping she has one. here in <location> the <institution> has to come in tried to hv daughter get some monies for all she has done since my hospitilization but to no avail they want to send in <institution>. i am retired <professional_practitioner> so i dont know why my insurance or workmans comp wont cover it. disabilty does. hmmm
