We also have Independant Healthcare Providers who do not work for agencies. Care Star keeps a list of these people which is beneficial as they already have the knowledge of our care & of course they're backgrounds are checked. The state pays them but they can also be hired & paid from an individual. So you might want to check into an Independant caregiver. Dianna
