It seems in France you can take an elderly person into your home and earn $$$ monthly - up to five and from what i have heard it is a significant amount; 5000 per month, per person.

Is their a scheme like that here? I would never do it but it could be interesting to others.


Please delete this thread Rosemary as I think the person was talking out of their place where the sun does not shine....
Merci...

Maybe it is true. I don't know . I will let the moderator decide.

I bet there will be a lot of fraud with that plan.

Hi from the France forum! I hadn't 't heard of this fostering scheme until I read your post.
However much their home is suitable, I imagine that applicants are closely vetted on all counts before being accepted. It would be an enormous responsibility to "take on" a non-family elderly person who would inevitably become a real millstone.
The financial info in the other forum's link should be taken with a pinch of salt, especially after reading the up-to-date official link below, which gives the daily "payment of services rendered" of 28,80€ per person, to which a variable indemnity for special needs of up to 20€ may be added.
If such a scheme exists in Spain, potential "foster-children" would have to balance the pros and cons of 24/24 7/7 responsibility for around 1000€ per month, before launching into such a venture (and expats even more so, as communication with the elderly person is primordial).

That's my centime's worth, anyway!

imagine.. an old hotel with 50 rooms. 10 for nurses getting paid 1000 a month, then 40 rooms for old folks earning 200k a month ?!?!

somethings not right there.

It can be done in Spain too.
This is the law.

Maybe this idea is what Billy Petherick and family are planning to do with the old ex Convent they are remodeling in France. I think it has 40+ rooms. They have a YT channel entitled The Pethericks.

old people are the golden ticket.. Not enough people willing to work to support them when the governments in the EU hand out benefits monthly and careers come before producing offspring so this will only go on... Covid was suppose to take care of the vast majority of them but the scientists got in the way creating the vaccine...

I think that the jabs are a ticking time bomb for the elderly population. Just my opinion.

It's more likely that the virus is the ticking time bomb - it is already known that after a covid infection the virus may continue to live in the muscle fibres of the heart, in the same way that chickenpox virus lives in your spine after a chickenpox infection, and can come back decades later to cause shingles.

And for some people the effect may just be a chronic continuation from the initial infection, so not an extended time before the virus strikes a second time. There are estimated to be around 3 million people of working age in the US who disappeared from payrolls during the pandemic and who have not returned to work, that is around 2% of the working population. Some may be people aged 55-62 who took early retirement, and just chose to stop working, and who haven't yet reached the age of 62 when they can receive Social Security, but there appears to be a significant number of people who are unable to work as a result of a previous covid infection. These aren't people who take sick leave for a few weeks or even months, these are people who dropped off the payroll during 2020-2021, and who have not returned to work, died, or started claiming Social Security (US state pension).
