actually yes
if you can care for a relative on medicaid you are entitled to some caretaker wages.
It is cheaper than putting granny in a nursing home.

I thought medicaid just went to nursing homes and that it could not be used for home care. Has something changed?

Course maybe it depends on the state. In Pennsylvania I was under the assumption that medicaid only went to help costs if one was in a nursing home. It couldn't go to assisted living facilities either.
