If you're hiring an in-home health aide for your parents, think two, not one. That way, they can each have a part-time schedule and there will be backup if one calls in sick, goes on vacation, or quits.

Hiring two in-home health aides raises a number of questions for me. Wouldn't this cost more? Also, wouldn't it increase the risk of miscommunication in terms of things like schedules and medications? Would it be best to hire two aides from the same company or use different companies? The postitive aspects that are mentioned seem great, but I'd like to know more.
