[quote=Anonymous]I quit my job to take care of my elderly mom (86 year old with Alzheimer). She lives with us. I would like to place her in a memory care unit, but the prices are just exhorbitant. The Biden Administration is trying to pass (or already passed) new regulations which will require nursing homes to increase the number of nurses and nurse aids. There is already a shortage of these professionals. Not sure where they would find enough to fill these positions Now, here is my idea, could caregivers, like myself, be trained to be nurse’s aids, be paid a nominal amount, and in return, the facilities could take in our loved ones for free/very reduced rate? The caregivers should have to commit to working for three - four years. I am sure there would be some issues, but could this be a possible solution? [/quote]
