My Mom is 75 and asking us to help her find a live in caregiver or caregiving couple to live room and board free in exchange for free care giving services in the early morning and again evening. She’s in Apple Valley. I have no idea how to go about doing this! We need a strong caregiver to assist her. We will train the new caregiver. We have In home health care for all other needs. We need someone effective this month Sept 2019.
The arrangement that she suggests is no longer legal in the U.S. You need to tell her that.
See my detailed reply above.
Not sure if you read my request.
But Thankyou.
Just curious why the home health care isn't able to do this? Or would that be a two person assist for your Mom? And there is only one home health care at the house during a certain time?
My Dad had 3 shifts of caregivers each day. And that became extremely expensive. It was less expensive for Dad to move into Assisted Living [which was his choice and recommendation], and Dad liked saving the money. He loved being around people of his own generation :)
Yes fully aware.
We need two hours a day.

Any other suggestions are appreciated.
Thankyou :)
