[quote=Anonymous]My brother wants to pull our elderly father out of assisted living and have our father live with him.   My brother works a full time job (that can not be done from home) owns a company (some of which can not be done from home) and has 50% custody of his children (elementary school age.)   HIs kids are very active in a sport that takes them out of town for at least one full weekend day per week  (5 am-9 pm time frame.)

My Dad requires medical appointments a few times a week.  He also has had his bladder removed so he has a bag that needs to be emptied several times per day.   My brother also mentioned he would not want my dad to use the stove, oven or microwave, so on the days my brother is out of the house-especially the all day sport days, my dad would need someone to cook his meals.

It's important that this service is provided by a "reputable company" (his words) because my dad has already been taken advantage of by a small company/individual that was incredibly shady.

In general do home care agencies have employees that are willing to drive to appointments?  In their own car, or one provided by the family/elderly person?

This is not in the DC area, but in a similarly high cost of living area.

Thanks.[/quote]
