[quote=Anonymous]My grandmother's "cleaning lady" became this for her. She was a lovely 60-ish woman in the neighborhood who knew my grandmother through church. She took on more and more responsibility-- first it was just cleaning, then it became cooking a few days a week and leaving leftovers, bringing in grocery delivery, then things like taking my grandmother to Wednesday Mass and Bingo and the beauty salon, and just spending some time chatting and watching TV, keeping an eye on things and raising any concerns, etc. We happily paid her for this at a good rate. Everyone valued her and she was recognized at the funeral as well. Yes there is some risk to going outside an agency, there was no insurance or anything, but you can have a bad experience with an agency too. If you have a naturally developing support relationship with a trusted person whom your loved one actually likes, it can be the best option.[/quote]
