[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you imagining that there’s a group of people out there who want to commute to and from someone’s house at the last minute for an hour’s pay?

I get why this would be nice for you, but how does it work from the employee’s end? [/quote]

+1 Strange how people don't consider time and expense of commuting[/quote]

Be kind. Elder care is expensive and, with dementia, OP is probably worried and stressed. So other peoples' commutes is probably not at the front of her mind. Can people on here show some grace and kindness for once? Because, to me, its strange how people are incapable of doing this. [/quote]

I have an elderly parent who is on a sharp decline cognitively. It's overwhelming. I get it.

But I also see how hard it is to be a good home healthcare worker, and the notion that they need to extend themselves more because it would make OP's life easier is just really, really off. [/quote]

DP. All OP is asking is if this is possible. It is, but you have to find it, and it's dependent on location.

And it takes time to deplete assets to get to a Medicaid situation, then the time to apply and get accepted. [b]Posters are using this as a platform to grandstand, NOT try to help OP who is in an overwrought situation[/b].[/quote]

This. And just b/c the other PP has an elderly parent and "gets it" does not mean you cannot show some compassion to someone who is struggling. Maybe more that you. Shame on you, to that PP. [/quote]
