[quote=Anonymous]There are services that do this, but more are needed. You need to find out about malpractice insurance. Elderly can be paranoid and their loved ones can make accusations too. Also, will you contract out most services or have your own employees? You need to consult with a lawyer about how liability works. For example, what if someone you hire or contract to takes jewelry from the elder or tells a sob story to get a check? What if the elder sustains an injury while be helped? You also need a training program for dealing with challenging behaviors. For one parent I was willing to do a lot because he was pleasant. It's the mean and hostile parent where I outsource everything and am willing to spend top dollar. While she behaves better for outsiders on good days, the dark side comes out and we make sure anyone who works with her is trained to de-escalate.[/quote]
