A live-in aid is a family member who stays in a housing unit with a disabled individual. They may live in the unit as long as the disabled individual needs their services. However, adult children are not allowed to live in the unit without a live-in aide. They must be able to perform the live-in aid duties and must meet the eligibility requirements.
Working as a live-in aide can have many benefits. For example, it can allow students to pursue a nursing degree, lowers overhead costs, and helps families find caregivers when they are out of town. Another benefit is that your loved one will have the same person working with him or her every day. This means consistency and a chance to establish a relationship.
