Issue 46.14
Okay so, I’m finally ready to admit to myself that I need a little help! I’m not yet ready to admit it to my children, or anyone else, and I’m certainly are not ready to leave the home that I love or give up my independence. Nor do I want to become an employer, and deal with all of the headaches of employees, Interviewing, hiring, firing, liability insurance, workman’s compensation insurance, state and federal taxes, social security withholdings.
Okay so what do I do, what are my options?
Have you ever felt like this?
All you really need is for someone to take you shopping, running errands a couple of times a week, or maybe to do the laundry and change the bed linens – things that used to be so easy but now seem daunting. Possibly you are the caregiver for your loved one and just want someone to give you a break – caring for your loved one, while you go out for a drive or to see friends or family. Maybe, you just want to have a caregiver around during challenging physical tasks, for you or your loved one, like showering, getting dressed, entering vehicles or taking a walk outside to help to prevent dangerous and painful falls.
So how can you easily get the help you need without any contracts, insurances, taxes or other complications?
