I was researching caregiving more
And caregiving grants
I found a story of someone who got a grant from a charity to get free in-home care from a care provider agency
So I did some research
Employee reviews of the care agency network.
"Rewarding and meaningful. However, the compensation is very bad. It is unfortunate that Home Instead pays so little for very important work. Home Instead only pays a quarter of what they charge for services to their employees and that quarter is only minimum wage."
"Rewarding and meaningful. However, the compensation is very bad. It is unfortunate that Home Instead pays so little for very important work. Home Instead only pays a quarter of what they charge for services to their employees and that quarter is only minimum wage."
Here's the article with the story: https://www.caregiverstress.com/stress-management/relief-tips/barbaras-story-how-a-home-care-grant-changed-my-life/
Caregiver Stress
How a Caregiving Grant Changed My Life
Barbara tells how receiving a financial grant for caregiving services changed her life for the better.
"The grant program awards caregiving grants to families throughout the U.S. and Canada in order to give them support and rest. Tapping funds raised by Hilarity for Charity, an initiative spearheaded by comedian Seth Rogen and his wife to raise money and Alzheimer’s awareness, the grants offer free professional caregiving services through a local Home Instead Senior Care franchise."
So -- fundraising organized by a celebrity and other organizations with fundraising capacity. Money is paid to a company that, according to that employee review, charges much more than the pay for caregivers is.
Why not have a charity model where caregivers are paid more directly, with less administrative cost?
This reminds me of the "on demand" concept for caregiving, like Uber. Although for things to work well, it's different than ordering a car or a pizza.
This is where community is a key missing piece, and community is something that can in part happen online, and include people with illness.
Why have a model of separate categories of Caregivers, Care-Receivers, and Administrators, and Fundraising, where community is missing?
