My Mother is in assisted living. I would like to get extra help for her as the paid employees are very stressed and busy. Any suggestions?

Some facilities have exclusive agreements with specific providers. Talk with the facility. They may not allow it because of liability issues.

The facility my mom was in required mom have a caregiver, private pay in addition to regular staff because of behaviors. They provided a website, all were contractors that were setup for payroll purposes through a company. All were screened by the facility.

You can hire a CNA privately to take your mom for walks or help her with whatever she needs. Or, you can use an agency like Home Instead to hire a companion to sit with her and keep her company. The ALF may have a list of caregivers they recommend, too. It would probably be less expensive to hire someone privately than to use an agency like Home Instead which requires 4 hr minimums also.

Good luck!

You can hire an person from an agency or privately pay someone to help.

What type of help does he need?

When my bro was at ALF they had excellent ideas on which agencies to use, which hospice and etc so I would check with the ALF first.
