Contact your local Social Service. Use the Yellow Pages to find the number.\n\nThey first need tp evaluate if he is eligible for in home care benefits. \n\nIf he does, yes, you can be listed as his caregiver.

If you qualify you can sign up for Welfare.  This will allow them to pay for your teeth and other health problems that may happen in the future.  It maybe worth a try.

This is something to contact the hospital about, either to their billing department or a social worker.  Most hospitals are willing to work out some type of payment plan, if that is something that he can do.  They could point him to the right direction for any type of aid available in your area.

Amy\n\nI am surprised to see your posting.  Do you not feel we are helping you adequately?  The procedure your father wants carries with it great risks and we are doing our best to find the best surgeons for you rather that turn this into some profit making opportunity.  We have rejected two doctors in India for lack of experience and our chief medical officer is currently in India working on this for you including finding you a surgeon in Singapore as an alternative as well.  We here at planethospital are also very concerned for your father's well being and you know we are working very hard for you.  If you feel otherwise, tell us so that we can satisfy you.  the resources going into helping your father should not go in vain so if you have no intent in using us, or just want to pick our brain then we would need to deploy those resources for other clients.  I hope to hear back from you

if your dad listed you as one of the beneficiary, you have the right to access the money. Call the insurance company for questions.

If dad is no longer competent, I would suggest you have a guardianship for him.  Appoint son the guardian for dad - that should allow him to conduct dad's financial transactions and make health care decisions.

Check with local community services organization - they often organize homecare services with senior citizens

Apply for disability and Medicaid!

Depending on your age, you could claim illness of you or family member.  Or disability, (I got out of a couple of jobs claiming disability).  I never got a job that demanded a contract, though.  Or, you might claim another job back home.  One that pays better and is in a better enviroment.  But, I think I'd claim illness in the family.  Most people are pretty sympathetic to that, I think.

Yes youu can as your father is a citizen you should have no probs.

If you will be operating a non-profit health center, then you may be able to get a grant. But hardly for a for-profit organization.\n\nHere are some samples of grants available for senior care for non profits:\n\n94.002 - Retired and Senior Volunteer Program\nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.SEARCH_PGM_TXT_DYN.SHOW?p_arg_names=prog_nbr_in&p_arg_values=94.002&p_arg_names=keyword_in&p_arg_values=seniors&p_arg_names=_title&p_arg_values=\nOBJECTIVES:\nThe Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provides grants to qualified agencies and organizations for the dual purpose of engaging persons 55 and older in volunteer service to meet critical community needs; and to provide a high quality experience that will enrich the lives of volunteers. \n\nApplicant Eligibility:\nGrants are made only to public agencies, including state and local government agencies and private nonprofit organizations.\n\n93.969 Geriatric Education Centers \nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.SEARCH_PGM_TXT_DYN.SHOW?p_arg_names=prog_nbr_in&p_arg_values=93.969&p_arg_names=keyword_in&p_arg_values=seniors&p_arg_names=_title&p_arg_values=\nOBJECTIVES:\nGrants are given to support the development of collaborative arrangements involving several health professions schools and health care facilities. Geriatric Education Centers provide training of health professional faculty, students, and practitioners in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease, disability, and other health problems of the elderly. Health professionals include allopathic physicians, osteopathic physicians, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, chiropractors, clinical psychologists, health administrators, and other allied health professionals. Projects supported under these grants must offer training involving four or more health professions, one of which must be allopathic or osteopathic medicine, and must address all of the following statutory purposes: (a) improve the training of health professionals in geriatrics; (b) develop and disseminate curricula relating to the treatment of the health problems of elderly individuals; (c) support training and retraining of faculty to provide instruction in geriatrics; (d) support continuing education of health professionals who provide geriatric care; and (e) provide students with clinical training in geriatrics in nursing homes, chronic and acute disease hospitals, ambulatory care centers, and senior centers. \n\nApplicant Eligibility:\nGrants may be made to accredited health professions schools as defined by Section 799B(1) of the Public Health Service Act, or programs for the training of physicians assistants as defined by Section 799B(3), or schools of allied health as defined in Section 799B(4), or schools of nursing as defined by Section 801(2). \n\nIt is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does

Depending on your state regulations it may be that she is eligible for Home Health care.  If it is getting too tough for you to try and do it all, maybe they could at least help.  I believe they will offer at least four hours a day, maybe more.  I lost both my parents at a young age but I remember how tough it was to take care of my mom because she was sick for two years before she passed.  Its easy to say you should take care of her yourself, but until a person has to actually deal with the issue its hard to understand how draining it can be, both physically and emotionally.  Good luck.

Have you checked with any house painter organizations (if any exist)? Sometimes they can provide group health insurance. One word of caution, though. There is debate about the value of association health plans (those you might see with a professional organization). On one hand these plans are less expensive than individual coverage and people with pre-existing conditions are more likely to be accepted than if they tried to apply for insurance on their own. On the other hand, some critics say that association health plan benefits are so watered down that you are better off paying more for a private plan (if you can afford it).\n\nYou might also contact your state insurance department to see if you might be eligible for group health insurance as a “group of one.” Some states expand access to group health insurance to self-employed individuals with no employees. I’ve included links below to state insurance departments and to a listing of state health guides that should explain whether “groups of one” coverage exists in your state.\n\nIf you’d like to talk to local insurance agents and compare health plans online, try MostChoice.com. It’s a fast, no-obligation way to explore the local health insurance market; you might find that health insurance is more affordable than you think. If not, that will make you more confident in your pursuit of alternative options.\n\nYou can find MostChoice here: http://www.mostchoice.com/health-insurance.cfm\n\nHope this helps,\nBarnes@MostChoice

You would have to have your mother declared a dependant in order to access health care insurance.  I don't know what country that you live in but in the USA there is medacaid and if you live in Canada all her services would be covered anyway.
