[quote=Anonymous]It's really annoying, the jobs that home health care aids aren't allowed to do, that I as a family caregiver have to do with absolutely no training. Anything to do with medication - that's on me. You'd have to hire an RN or someone with medication management certification - and even then, they probably wouldn't be able to stay on top of making sure refills get followed up on, conecting with the insurance company or Medicare for prior authorizations, etc. Any anything to do with finger or toenail clipping, maintenance. That's on me, too. The aides can file nails but not clip, trim or deal with ingrown nail issues. Any anything to do with constipation like administering a suppository or an enema. They can wipe but nothing more. These three things are the reason people end up in a nursing home, if they don't have a "loved one" willing to help them.[/quote]
