Looks like we are we are moving in the right direction with the Parents Paid Caregivers under Consumer Directed.
I do have some concerns that I would like to express. I have two children on the DD Waiver I am the EOR and have been since 2012. It has been nearly impossible to hire outside help due to pay, diagnosis’s, behaviors, daily living and etc. When Appendix K was put into place in 2020 my husband became a Caregiver. Which has helped out tremendously. Now with the new stipulations being put into place for Parents Paid Caregivers under CD this puts constraints on so many families.
Please consider the above items. These will affect the families tremendously that need this to keep their child/children safe in their home environment. Look how much more expensive it is for group home or institution placement.
Respectfully,
Melody Bell
