caregiver crisis
 

Natural Support?  do you get paid to work?  many family and friends providers I know left careers to care for loved ones when they aged out of school because they cannot be left alone.  

They are expected to work 24/7 and live in poverty to make some social worker happy?  

Is DMAS aware of the caregiver crisis?   

EVV is making hiring caregivers impossible.  Please exempt live in providers so people needing care doing end up in placements.
