LIVE INS HAVE PROVEN THEIR METTLE WITH THE CORONAVIRUS
 

Live ins keep the care recipient in their homes.  The recipient is not in a large group home, day program, or mass care.  Live ins are worth their weight in gold.  Live ins need to be treated better and thanked for their tireless, daily contribution to society.  Not only are they the most affordable care option available, but they are helping each and every day by preventing the spread of diseases and deaths.  Thank them, Virginia, and make them your ally.  Listen to them.  They have so much to offer.  Do not force repulsive actions such as EVV down their throats or they will be gone.  Everyone has their limits, and live-ins are already close to their limits every day without EVV.  They need help not hindrance.
