Hi Joy,
Medicaid does have guidelines and it sounds like your friend, and her son, should get them so they know exactly what the aide should be doing (I'm sure they know sleeping on the job is wrong) and not doing when they are caring for a C1/2 Quad. Check the Link below for info on Kansas. I'll keep your friend and son in my prayers.
I hope this helps.
With Love,
