We have Aging and Long Term Care (I worked for them for awhile when I was nursing), Kevin, and basically the same type of care as Debi. If you qualify dollar wise, they will cover home care for so many hours a day and in some cases overnight care. If not, they will still help you go thru an agency that specializes in finding good people for you and would NEVER tolerate anyone like you are talking about. They probably would and should be arrested...truly. Please keep us posted on what is happening. Jeanne in Dayton, WA

We found out the information from our Social Security office worker...give them a call. Debi Wall South Lake Tahoe Ca Not sure if this has come up on the TMIC before. Wondering if anyone uses help in your own home. Looking for Light cooking, laundry and cleaning. How did you find your help? Do any government agencies subsidize the cost? Do you trust your Help? I'm asking because my Mom and I have a couple we pay, but they Lie, often don't show up, and steal. We even give them a car to use And we pay all expenses. But we can't afford $200 a day, which is What I'm told professional help costs. Thanks for all help. Kevin
