I am friends with a family with a child who qualifies for sevices via the Tecnology Assisted Waiver, and I have seen the benefits the waiver provides. Most importantly the home nursing care is key. Children who receive 16 hours of private duty nursing care daily are among those with the most involved and complicated medical needs yet these are the children who are not afforded the opportunity to have missed shifts made up within a 72 hour period of time per the following, the making up or trading of any scheduled shifts, days or hours of care may be done within 72 hours of the missed scheduled shift but the total hours made up, includeing for any day shall not exceed 16 hours per day for any reason.
Thank you for your attention for these children and families with such great need.
