[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone. The feedback gives me a lot to think about. She mainly uses an agency but has a privately paid aide on weekends. The privately paid aide has a 2nd job and family so she can’t be a live-in. I discouraged her from going solely with private providers because if they get sick or have an emergency she’d have no coverage. At least the agency can send a sub. But thinking about the winter weather it hit me that this plan isn’t foolproof. I do feel responsible for her as I have her medical POA and her friends and distant family count on me to be looking out for her. But ultimately I can’t force her to make better decisions. I just don’t want her to suffer needlessly and I think her decisions are going to end with suffering. [/quote]
