What is a Live-In Aid?
A live-in aide is a person that stays with a resident in the United States for a certain period of time, and the two individuals work together to provide a quality care. The aide provides personal care to the resident, including daily activities, cleaning, shopping, and transportation. The aide is hired for a period of time, and the owner of the home has an agreement in place with the aide.
Requirements for a live-in aide
If a resident needs support, he or she may qualify for a live-in aid. A live-in aide resides in the unit with a disabled person, and provides supportive services. In order to be approved, the aide must be essential to the resident’s care. The aide cannot be related to the tenant.
