Re: [QUAD-L] Help with PCA ad

Hi Joan, in your add, it says position is with an agency? but you hire after? 
how does it work in your state. In RI, I was on a Medicare part c program for 
many years until the agency closed due to mismanagement of funds by director, 
really bad. I AM NO LONGER RECEIVING ANY HELP.Anyway, I was issued checks to 
pay my pca's that I hired. It is hard now because I can't receive help unless I 
get on Medicaid and don't qualify because I have more than 10 thousand in 
savings. It is such a bad system. I have tried to stay off Medicaid and support 
myself and they push people to get on it to receive any help! My husband will 
be helping me now but as we are all talking about, things can change in an 
instant. I try not to worry but its hard. Do others get help from their states? 
Best,
Shirley Bell

  Hi Bobbie

  This is a sample of what I use. I just change it for specific needs. I use 
craigslist, Facebook pages that are appropriate (we have one: Word-of-Mouth 
jobs that is great). Good luck. I HATE looking for new attendants. Joan

  Personal care attendant part time. Quadriplegic woman in North Valleys Pay 
$10.75 an hour. Complete background checks are required. Saturday and Sunday 
from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM. If interested in more time it can also include Monday.

  Hey folks, 

  I really need your help! If you're like me, you have a lot of things to say 
when it comes to helping others, but not so much when it comes to ourselves! 

  Well, I'm in the middle of a rainstorm and am having trouble! I need to find 
an attendant! Part time help for evenings. What I need help with is putting 
together an ad and ideas on where to put the ads!

   

  Any and all suggestions welcome! 

  Thanks, 

  Lori

So sorry Lori

We have a school of nursing here in Reno as well as a school of nursing at the 
Truckee Meadows community college. I found a couple of good attendants but we 
had problems scheduling around their schedule J. They are also only looking for 
the most part for during the school year and they’re gone during holidays. 
Perhaps you will have more luck. My biggest problem is finding somebody for the 
weekends-hired one last month, after four days plus money out of pocket, 
decided that it was too emotional of a job! Back to the drawing board. Good 
luck Joan

Thank you, Joan! Btw, this is Lori! And, I agree! I HATE looking for an 
attendant too!!

My roommate got sick, last October and can't do the bulk of it anymore :-( He 
has been helping me since 1996!! And, my good friend has been helping me since 
1999!! Needless to say, this has been a shock to my system! I've been very 
blessed with the 2 best attendants I could ever imagine! Didn't think I took it 
for granted until he got sick. My world was turned upside down! We thought we 
were going to lose him, he was that sick. 

I did have a young girl take over the evenings, but she moved out of state. 
Another girl took over the weekend mornings (a neighbor) Now I'm once again 
looking! :-\ 

 

I'm thinking of putting an ad at the 2 colleges in my area (in the nursing 
school area)
