I'm interested in providing care in my home for a disabled or elderly person. I have a large bedroom w/bathroom in my home for the right individual. I've been certified but let it expire after I left working in convalescent home several years ago. More recently I have, in my home, taken care of a disabled elderly man (6 years) until he passed & a quadriplegic for a much shorter time. I'm ready to provide for the right person and would like suggestions on where/how to find that person. (The two mentioned came to me by "word of mouth" "friend of friend")

Depending on the state you live in, you'd best be licensed and bonded. If something goes wrong, the family can end up taking your home and putting you on the street.
Word of mouth is probably the safest way for you to go, especially if you aren't licensed and bonded.

i'm some what interior an same structure that you're in except for the very shown reality that i'm the caregiver of both one in each and every of my mom and dad. both one in each and every of them are diabetics. mom has a stroke or 2 that has left her partly paralyzed, she fell and broke her hip and had to have it replaced. Dad has had a stroke as well, he had to get a pacemaker about a year or so in the past and is getting worse with each and every passing day. He can somewhat get round at present. I referred to as round to a number of diverse places attempting to get some monetary information for me to assist me out with my expenditures even as i replaced into searching after them. all of them informed me that because of the very shown reality that i replaced into their daughter i ought to get no help what so ever. yet i ought to get someone to go back in and look after them. i do not choose any strangers coming in and searching after my mom and dad for me, it really is my activity. I did artwork for awhile outside the homestead, yet then they both were given worse and so i'm staying homestead until eventually such time as I have lost both one in each and every of my mom and dad. i'm certain that in different states they could monetary information a relatives member to look after yet another relatives member, yet no longer right here. i in my opinion ought to except any ingredient as it really is more effective than no longer some thing and not in any respect some thing is what i'm getting from our astounding state for worrying for my elderly mom and dad. yet i'm worrying for my mom and dad our of love and not in any respect for the money, yet somewhat money should be outstanding together.
