[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a plan in mind for when your aide is sick or has a conflict. If you're hiring directly rather than an agency, what's your backup plan?[/quote] We had a direct hire person in mind but are leaning toward an agency for that reason. They said they would try a few folks so if the primary person is unavailable the person coming would be a bit familiar. We have some family about 30 min away who can help in a pinch but wanted to have something reliable for day to day. It may be that as she gets back to baseline it will go to 4 hours 6 days a week, but rides to the doctor, etc will be very useful. [/quote] You are going to have difficulty staffing if you are only looking for 4 hours/day[/quote]
