Legal Question in Elder Law in Illinois

Family Caregiver Payment

My father is being cared for by one of

her daughters in her house . She

was at his house after he suffered a

stroke and 24/7 care was provided

by her - a contract was made and

she is paid through an account with

all SS and taxes being paid. I have

POA and now we wonder the best

way to continue to compensate my

sister. She had to quit her job and

needs money which is not a problem.

Can she charge room and board - still

provide care? Can his income just

become part of the family household

income? He has $34,000 income

and about $400,000 in assets.
