[quote=Anonymous] So my limited experience with this-my folks had 24 hr coverage with an aide, temporarily, after they both went to rehab last year (dad fell, knocking down mom and she broke her hip). I found a local agency and we had 3 aides, 8 hr shift each. After about 3 weeks, a hurricane came near (Ian, we're in FL). The agency called me and said, we won't be providing staffing for the next 24 hours, possibly longer. In our case, I live very close by (I do work fulltime and am still parenting a dc which is why we had to hire help) so dc and I stayed with them until the storm passed and young adult dc stayed when they weren't at work until the aides came back. All this to say-in our case, weather did affect getting coverage. OP, the person in your case needs to be in a nursing home. Even paying well and with a reputable agency, it's very hard to get people. [/quote]
