[quote=Anonymous]Op, my parents have paid caregivers. They are through an agency and the agency supposedly trains them, but they aren’t CNAs and the training isn’t that great. As my parents age, we are having trouble because many of the caregivers don’t really have good enough skill are using complicated wheelchairs or hoyer lifts. Learning the best ways to help people who fall or need help getting up from a chair. We would gladly pay out of pocket to hire PTs to come help train them, but they don’t live in an affluent area. And here is what I have learned: at least in their not affluent area, if Medicare doesn’t pay for it, the service doesn’t exist. Hopefully this would help create a way for companies and doctors offices to bill for helping train caregivers. Honestly we need this for paid caregivers too, not only family caregivers.[/quote]
