I'm looking for someone to be my eyes and ears for my dramatic brain injury son who is in rehab facility he's 44 do not have to be a nurse's aide just someone to be a companion
Just a thought. I would not hire someone for mornings. Busiest time of the day. Getting residents up and dressed and down for breakfast. Then PT. Before you know it, lunch time. You would be paying someone for sitting around. I don't think facility aides would appreciate an outside aide in their way. They have a routine. Maybe from after lunch till dinner. After that its getting residents settled in for the night.
You can also try a nursing school nearby. Sometimes they need service hours. Visiting Angels they are bonded but they are a bit expensive. Are you or son a member of a church, some churches have committees that assign or have volunteers that will visit and care for a member. Don't be shy just ask the worst that they can say is "no".
There are agencies that you can check and hire but check with the facility first they may have restrictions as to outside hired caregivers. If the person is strictly a companion and will do NO caregiving duties that might be different.
There are agency in most areas that you can call for companion care. They are probably expensive but less than CNA care.
I worked for an agency for about 5 years, I loved doing it. Mostly it was older people. I often went into hospital for someone who wanted there parent to have the best care they could get.
I would Google compaian care in your area, even if they mostly do senior care they might help, or know where you can get help
