[quote=Anonymous]Yes and no. If you have an Uber (or better, an Uber black) with someone who seems good you can get their card. But there’s no way they can just hang around all day waiting to work one hour for you. But it can still be good for airport transfers and such. Basically though if your dad needs help transferring, you’re there. You need an aide. A driver is a driver, not a part time aide you can summon for short periods. As you get into Aide Land, you’ll realize that you can’t possibly staff “just enough.” You pay people to sit on the couch for hours because that’s the nature of elder care, if it’s for one or two people. It’s not an efficient model - that’s why the most cost effective way to do it is a group home. It sucks, I’m sorry. But remember that the longer you let your mom do this job alone, the harder it will be on her. There’s a good chance she’s already doing too much and you can end up with an injury. [/quote]
