You know, that one lady we met that one time.

Do you have a caregiver or home health aide to help you? Are you a caregiver or home health aide?

What is your experience with having one or being one?

Certified Nurse's Assistant. So like the person in the hospital who would check on you when the doctor and nurses are busy- take vitals, change bedding, help with bathing, dispense meds, bring food, that kind of thing.

Thanks - its one thing I like about this site with folks from all over, is the new words and concepts that one gets exposed to.

Blessings on you today!
 
I live alone and do not have an aide or anything. Sometimes family helps out because I am often short for cash. Other than that I work & support myself.

Would probably be more independent if I can figure out what's wrong with me deep down that _isn't_ autism. Still hoping to figure that one out.
 
Right now my partner has renal failure to the point they need dialysis, so l had to do everything for the first couple of months. It's difficult at times. I feel overstretched.
 
Our choice was not on the list.
My wife & I are full-time caregivers of our ASD3 daughter [30]. We are allowed to collect a nominal fee from her estate, but it is not a full wage.
