By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information").

Any agency will take your aunt as a client, but taking you as the caregiver I doubt can happen at all. I cannot, in fact even imagine what you mean.
If you work for an agency it would be unusual to assign you as caregiver to your own aunt. I suppose it COULD happen, but would be messy and unlikely.
I hope you can explain a bit more of what it is you are hoping for.
Best of luck to you and your aunt.
In our area. Easterseals assists children and adults with disabilities.
A friend of mine has a son who has disabilities.
Easterseals pays my friend’s mom to help care for her son. Maybe, your aunt can inquire if she can receive help from Easterseals.
You would be paid for your services through Easterseals.

I have mentioned this program before in my posts. I know PA does it because I get their TV stations. I think other States are following.
If a person qualifies for "in home" Medicaid, the State of PA allows a family member or friend to be trained by a care agency. That family member or friend, then becomes an employee of that agency. They are paid by the agency and receive benefits. They are then allowed to take on their relative as a client.
You’re right. Medicaid will open up the door for assistance.
That is how my friend got help for her son. Her son is on Medicaid due to his disabilities.
She utilized assistance from Easterseals to help him get set up to receive help.
You are correct about training. They provided training in CPR and knowing how to respond to her grandson’s seizures, etc.
The grandmother who was helping for free is now being paid for her services.
