[quote=Anonymous]My mom had some wonderful, caring home health aides 24/7 for the last 7 months when she was in hospice. Sure, there were a few duds who were phoning it in, and one who could never arrive on time for her shift, but you can talk to the agency and get different aides. But the two who split weekdays were just wonderful-one used to sing to my mom as she bathed her and my mom, who barely said more than a sentence for the last months, would always look up at her and smile. IMO the people making money are the agency managers. Two aides came to us and offered to work for us directly so they’d get more $ and we’d pay less. The problem is that if someone got sick, we’d have no help, and Mom absolutely needed that 24/7 coverage and the agency’s ability to send someone to else. Medicare only sends someone twice a week, even for slime one who was bed-bound like my mom. Having seen a facility with lots of Medicaid patients [/quote]
