My 92 year old mother with dementia lives in our home. She is on hospice and we have used our 24 hours of free getaway time allowed by Medicare. Where do we turn for sitters for hire that will come to our home and sit with mom for up to 6 hours. She requires help to portapot and having tea made for her.
i found friends of the family and friends of friends worked out great. I think because they are connected directly to me, they were much more concerned.
I made sure the agency paid them $15 - $18 per hour. That probably helps too, since it was clear they were valued more than MacDonalds employees.
