High cost to do low pay job
 


i don’t have a smart phone and at my clients home there isn’t a landline. We had to purchase a device for $80 and take it to a public WiFi site every other week then get back online somewhere to check time entries.  The client has already smashed that device.  My client is likely to end up either with a higher cost service plan or in a high cost group home cause evv is very time consuming and messes up everyone’s time and pay... it is sad Virginia didn’t take a stand and support care providers and people with disabilities. If you want to catch real fraud you should see what group homes and public school bill for services never provided.   I don’t know why Virginia wants to shut down the lowest cost services. Please exempt live in providers.
