Respite Care Grant from Charitable Organization - Taxable? Self-Employment Tax? I received a 1099-MISC form from a charity which provided a total of $940 as reimbursement for respite care services for my special needs children so my wife and I could have a break. Apparently this type of grant money is taxable, which is annoying but whatever.
Approved Facilities. For Medicare to pay for respite, the patient must go to a Medicare-approved inpatient facility, such as a nursing home, hospital or hospice house. Medicare does not pay for in-home respite care or adult day care. Some hospice providers maintain their own respite facility and can facilitate the transfer to inpatient care. You also can ask you physician for recommendations, or use the online respite locator tool from the ARCH National Respite Network.
