We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
If this was an RN I would say thats the going rate. Don't take this wrong, I appreciate CNAs and think they aren't paid enough, but $35 is very unreasonable. I friend of my daughter bathed my Mom for $10 and that was a half hour. She also dressed her. I gave her $30 a week for 3 days. If for some reason she missed a day, I still gave her $30. My daughter, RN, felt $15 was reasonable but I was watching Moms money.
I would report her to the Homecare. She is an employee of theirs and is no way getting $35 an hour. I will bet she is not allowed to offer her services privately.
Call your office of aging. Ask if they have aides or know of someone who can hire without going thru an agency. Medicaid has homecare services if Dad falls into the income requirements. I like the idea of calling a nursing school.
My concern is the length of time. It isn't possible to bathe him "properly" in 11 minutes! The ladies who bathe my Dad take no less than 20 minutes and if he has someone who cleans his privates the way they should, it takes about half an hour. Also, it's important to clean his feet - between the toes. Hope you find other help.
Thank You! I’m overwhelmed @ have no one ... I will check Care.com. That’s a outrageous $$ @ it’s when she wants too.. no schedule. I find it surreal one would take advantage of this need. No he is not Veterans. I need that money for bills ect... plus I have a severe medical condition @ can’t lift him ect.. thank you so so much
The fact is that we live in a capitalist, free market economy and that is what happens when society is structured that way. I'm puzzled why any American would think that when greed is our national motto, that would not be what you expect. It would seem that Wall Street and the 1% get to play by free market rules, whereas the rest of us, the 99%, are expected to be generous and play by other rules. Double standard for sure.
She can "demand" all she wants! The question is what is she going to get...and I hope nothing from you! If the service was discontinued you can hire someone from an agency that will come in and do bathing, dressing. The fee would vary by the agency so check several in your area. There are also people you can hire that are not with an agency. A site like Care.com has people that you can hire. (I never used them when I was looking for caregivers for my Husband, I went through the local Community College and hired 2 people that had just completed their CNA program.) Check with Senior Services in your area they may have a program that would have a caregiver come in to do bathing and other light housework. A few questions for you... Is your Dad a Veteran? If so the VA might help with some things, and it depends on when and where he served. He might qualify for a little help or a lot of help. Does your Dad qualify for Hospice? If so a CNA would come in a few times a week to bathe and a Nurse would come in weekly to check on him. But for sure don't let someone that is "demanding" $$ back into the house and if she was with an agency I would report her to the agency. Most have a clause in the contract that prevents this.

If I were to pay that rate I’d expect her to work at least 1 hr to bathe and dress him and get him up if applicable.
I would report her to the Homecare. She is an employee of theirs and is no way getting $35 an hour. I will bet she is not allowed to offer her services privately.
