exempt live ins
 

CMS exempts live in caregivers, however, Virginia chose not to exempt.  Our meal preparations get interrupted twice daily to clock in or out and I have had to pull over on the side of the road to clock out.  On several occasions, it has taken a long time to get clocked in:  answering of several app. questions at every clock in and clock out, slow fingers on the keyboard, an app update needing to be installed before a log in is even possible, trying to find a place in the house where there is internet, or the app not working after several attempts.  So many meals have been ruined because of the time away from the stove just to clock in or out, and I don't know anyone who wants to stop on a lonely highway in the middle of the night to have to fiddle with an app. to clock out.
