I live in Canada and finding qualified help is scarcer than a hen’s teeth. LTC homes are not accepting new patients due to covid and free services through provincial care is almost non existent. We are currently paying over $40 an hour for help that isn’t very good with helping our LO with hygiene, etc.
Also dealing with own serious health issues. Really tired, folks. Anyone else having trouble?
LTC here are accepting new arrivals as long as they facility is not in outbreak, but I of course wait lists for popular facilities are still going to be a problem unless you qualify for a crisis bed.
The other caregivers I found were referred to my by others.
