Hi Roz,
What I would do also is check the local health care agencies that do this kind of work. The new one I am getting is working for a local health care agency but she also has a private client. We have 3 companies in our tiny little town so if you live in or near a fairly good size town you may have even more.
If you are on disablility, SS or SSI may pay for it.
It doesn't matter if you have someone living with you, what they do is only take care of the person that is needing the care. The only strict part is that they aren't suppose to do anything for the people who live with you such as dishes and clothing. Mine always did mine, Bill's and the boys though, they didn't mind.
Also since SS or SSI pays for it you might call your local SS office and they might be able to tell you the nearest ones.
The Social Services is also tied in with mine so you might want to call them and they can give you that info.
The town I live in really does take care of the elderly and disabled, so I would say that other towns offer a lot of help too.
Good luck,
Ada
