[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't go through an agency, but just use people who are referred to you, say,from a listserv ("Our parent died and our wonderful caregiver is looking for work"), they will be less expensive. If you don't need trained care, then consider this route. [/quote] the challenge is that if they are not able to come in, then there is no back up plan.[/quote] This. You can pay even more for a case manager and an agency that contracts with all providers to ensure there are no gaps, but even paying all that extra money, we found there were gaps. I will tell you the relatives we had who went to AL seemed to age much better. Having to use social skills, making new friends, going on outings with groups and getting feedback from peers if you are being rude really helps exercise the brain which is essential. Still cheaper to be AL with a personal aide than 24-7 at home with friends and neighbors moving away or distancing themselves.[/quote]
