Preserving the other parent as the EOR allows for greater continuity of care and seamless transitions in the caregiving process. When the EOR responsibilities are entrusted to the other parent, it eliminates the need to engage an external individual who may have limited availability or be subject to external circumstances that disrupt the caregiving routine. The other parent, being intricately involved in the care of their child, can seamlessly transition between caregiving tasks and EOR responsibilities. This streamlined approach ensures consistency and minimizes disruptions in care provision, optimizing the overall well-being and satisfaction of the individual in need. In contrast, relying on non-live-in EORs may introduce potential challenges in maintaining continuity, potentially impacting the quality and effectiveness of the caregiving experience.
