I had someone living in. She only officially worked 3 days - 4 days out of the week, but she was there for back-up other times too. I had her the last 18 months of my mother's life. The six months before that I had several different sitters.

Paid helpers may be a godsend but don't forget about proper assistive devices if your loved one has mobility problems. Sometimes the "nightshift" may not be needed making your paid helper budget go that much further.

Caption Call, and similar companies, offer a free phone with captions for those with hearing loss. You do need a land line (which your dad pays) for this service. If he is a veteran there are many services available that will help him live independently as long as possible.

Sherry, the reason I asked is because had just found out that hub's aunt and uncle did just start getting the VA Aid & Attendance (it is, but anyway) with "caregiver" - don't have to actually have a "sitter" - listed but with concern about the care given, as listed on the form - did you have to fill that out?
