Caregivers come in all sorts of forms. It can often be family members or a close friend who takes care of a loved one when they are no longer able to do so. They could be someone the older adult may not know. They may be employed through an agency and come home or work in the facility where the elder person lives. These are workers who can provide all sorts of services to suit their clients’ needs.
As someone ages, it’s vital to have someone who can care for them. Seniors often want to stay in their homes as long as they can. Because of this development, many seniors live in a facility that employs caregivers rather than nurses.
With this demand, however, there is also a shortage of caregivers. It is impacting many communities and causing older adults to go without caregivers. The waiting time for a caregiver has risen as well. Even with a caregiver, their hours may not be sufficient for the needs of the elderly one they are looking after.
Caregivers are in shortage everywhere. This includes facilities as well. For this reason, it’s best to start sooner rather than later when looking for a caregiver. It’s best to research to figure out what caregiver agency best fits your older adult’s needs. In many cases, these costs can be covered by Medicaid or VA Benefits with a little bit of planning. Please reach out to your local elder law attorney to find out how to get a caregiver while protecting your hard-earned assets.
