Let me tell you, from my personal experience it is very difficult to find any local, state, or federal program to pay for a care giver for anybody. My great-aunt was 97 years old and living with me. I could not find any help from the government. I found a retired lady from church who took care of her for a while, but at the end I had to place my relative in a nursing home. I hope someone can give you different advise and some hope.

There are in-home care workers who are available to the disabled. A social worker, or your doctor should be able to help you qualify for one. You have to be interviewed so they can tell if you qualify, how many hours you receive depends on the care you need. Each state has different guidlines.
They may determine that you need help bathing, in the kitchen, going to doctors appointments, cleaning cooking laundry,etc.

Most city, county or states have programs. You just have to be persistant in looking for them. Don't give up right away, it took about 15 different calls to get help.
