While I am not aging--yet, I have retained caregivers (currently three) for 23 years. Caregivers are special people that are under paid for their extraordinary service.
I would highly recommend that anyone who is aging, or their family, if necessary, considering hiring caregivers in the elderly person's home. This is especially true if the elderly person is fully capable of managing their own affairs, but physically having difficulties requiring help. The cost of having help like this is about one half the cost of going to a group assisted living and the person getting the care is able to remain at home, set the schedule for care, and not have to go on the facility's schedule.
Of course, careful background checks will be needed to determine that the caregiver is not going to try to take advantage of the situation.
The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.
A wicked Cajun Fairy named Robes Pierre entered the impenetrable Magical doll land of Sha Bebe. Queen Faustina, the ruler of the doll land, thought she had destroyed him, but he's back! Will the doll land survive his evil ways?
