 “Our health over corporate profits “
 

This is Elaine. When realizing I would not have a caregiver all day yesterday, I planned ahead the night before and had the caregiver find a cooler and put food in it so I had something to eat. I have a pressure sore I am trying to heal. In spite of spending lots of time in bed,  I am taking classes to go back to work. Being in one position for hours on end causes additional sores and good nutrition is essential in healing. I have had increasing problems since September finding and keeping caregivers because of EVV. At only $9.40 and hour, no benefits, and now expected to waste space on their smart phone to be tracked, no one wants the job.  My  health cannot improve with the current conditions. Great job, Virginia Medicaid! (Large eye roll).
 “Our health over corporate profits “

I don't want to rot in a nursing home until I die. Please stop EVV.
