Hi all. Live in caregiver here for my 78yo Mom with Parkinson's plus multiple other diagnoses.

I am finding that the hours given for tasks via the IHSS formulary are totally inadequate. I essentially have 4-5 hours per day to complete all cg tasks, however I'm finding that it's more like 12+ hours waking time, plus the middle of the night accidents, etc that I'm needed.

Is keeping a daily task plus time needed for each, tracking it, and sending it to the worker what I need to do?

Her doctor's will sign off on anything we need bc they see how much she has declined, I'm just unsure of where to start.

Any suggestions?

County: San Diego

Age: 78

Disabled

Income: Social Security $1070 per month

Room rent: $671

Pays for: phone, SDG&E, Internet

Calfresh amount: $173

Per a calculator we used, this individual should be receiving a higher EBT amount. Unsure of what the discrepancy is. Best to contact Calfresh?

Thanks in advance!
