[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There are lots of people who do this unless you are in some isolated backwater.[/b] Reminding to take medication is one thing but dispensing it is another. Check the laws for your jurisdiction and don’t ask a companion/housekeeper to do anything illegal.[/quote]

It can actually be easier to find good people to do this in those "isolated backwaters." [/quote]

Why do you think this is? Is it because there’s fewer jobs there? Or more people with old fashioned work ethic? [/quote]

Because in those communities, everyone knows each other and grew up around one another or knows someone who did. They have all been in each other's orbit for decades. There's a true social fabric to these places.[/quote]

Wage rates are low so Medicaid rates are better reimbursement compared to local wages.[/quote]

The people I know in "isolated backwaters" doing this do not need Medicaid. Believe it or not there are wealthy people in small communities way out yonder.[/quote]
We have a rural home that we love but the fact is that if we can’t live independently we wouldn’t be able to retire there. The applicant pool just isn’t wide enough for quality care nor the access to hospitals etc. Rural hospitals will be closing more and more.[/quote]
