The first draft of LRI guardrails did nothing but create chaos and unattainable requirements for families. Let’s make sure the next draft considers those families that are struggling to provide care to individuals who are eligible and in dire need of that care. Services should be dependent upon the client and not dependent on the person providing the care for the client. Focus on limitations that allow for flexibility’s within reason. Advertising isn’t an option for some families because of behaviors and fear of liability. Finding people because of the payrate is next to impossible. Please consider these things when determining what the way ahead is going to be. Do not put the recipients of this state program over barrels and force them to bend over backwards when they are just asking for the help they need and deserve given the situation they find themselves in. Limiting who can be the EOR and putting hurdles in the way only leads to complications for the people who need the services in order to be healthy and safe.
