I am helping Mom's friend. I keep trying to figure out how to get her and her son approved for attendant care, not that I remembered the name.
I needed to look it up.

The DES does not offer any type of program or service by which a caregiver will be paid to care for a spouse, relative, neighbor, other loved one or another person.

They explain that if you get the loved one approved for services you can get hired with an agency to provide services for them.
I don't see anyone advertising for attendant care, but I am confident that I can find one or more places nearby.
I am also confident that it will pay the minimum wage and that Mom won't be back from her hair appointment I before I finish this post.
I am supposed to make up an appointment with a client half an hour away that was asleep on Friday.
I should start writing that text now...
I have tried looking up how much the state pays. I have started looking into starting my own agency. If I hire an SLPA I can do speech therapy. I can do habilitation with my brother for a little more than $20.
In theory I could pay my brother's provider $15 an hour, but mom says she doesn't deserve it.
Mom was only a few minutes late, but she canceled her hair appointment, so I get to hear about that for a while.
