Have you spoken with your Dad about him paying you and does he have the financial resources to do this? If you are asking if someone else will pay you to take care of Dad, Not that I know of. But, there doesn't seem to be enough information to respond to that anyway.

If he is a veteran call the VA and check on "Aid and Attendance" to see about eligibility requirements. In some states Medicaid may pay you a minimal stipend. Check with Medicaid.

Unfortunately, Medicaid does not pay for caregiver care. If resources are limited, your best bet is to seek a home and community-based waiver under Medicaid for personal care. Not enough information to weigh in on the likelihood of that. It looks like he's being treated for cancer so there may be some interim, limited care you can receive in the home under Medicare in connection with those treatments.

tacy, that's a good point. The states that I'm more familiar with bar it, but there are states that allow it under a consumer directed option. And there are limits on who can provide care. So it depends on the state, as is always the case with Medicaid.
