[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vote buying--not sustainable. It currently costs $30 per hour for home care. It costs $262,800 for 24 hour care for a senior in home for 1 adult under care. This is not fiscally supportable. [/quote] That is what nursing homes are for. You can get that care for $10-12K/month. Yes, not the same as 1-1 care, but fact is most cannot afford that. So most do nursing homes, with local family visiting as much as possible [/quote] My understanding is that this proposal would cover not just seniors but also family members with disabilities requiring care. This would allow someone at cerebal palsy or MS to remain at home, receive care during the day, then be with family at night. [/quote] Shouldn't that already be covered under medic[b]aid[/b] (assuming you are talking about people that are under the age of 65?)[/quote] In-home care is not covered and families bankrupt themselves.[/quote]
