At Home Companions For Elderly People
A live-in aid is a qualified individual who comes to your home to help you. You may hire this person yourself or find one employed by a landlord or other individual. There are some important things to consider before hiring a live-in aid. HUD regulation is unclear and may create problems, but there are ways to get help without compromising your care. Here are the most common requirements for live-in aides.
Your aide must be a relative or a friend. While a family member is more likely to be your friend, you can hire an outsider if your relationship is close. A live-in aide should have their own separate bedroom. It is your responsibility to give your AID the privacy and independence that they need. You must make sure that the person you hire has all the rights you do, and that the person you are hiring is not a sex offender.
