My question is - if and when I cut my hours at my place of employment is there any type of Care Giver allowance in Kentucky? I look forward to connecting with people here as this is all very new to me. What a wonderful site to have found and some inspirational stories on here. thank you in advance.
 
You will really need to check with your local ALSA--they will know if there are any programs. I am in FL and we don't have anything. if your pals is a vet, then I think their is more paid help, or if they are on Medicaid (not medicare). I am sorry, I don't know any of the specifics as we don't qualify for any of these programs.

But welcome to our forum! I hope you will find a lot of help here.
 
I have no idea what is available in Kentucky. I, at one time, was a caregiver for my significant other. His problem was not ALS, but something else. I received a small allowance (about 20% of full time) for driving to doctor's appointments, meal preparation, housekeeping, etc. This was through Senior and Disabled Services in this state. (OR)
