he could have HHA assigned to him. or maybe he didn't want them. I don't know. we'll just wait and see what was the FD's finding. It will take at least 2-3 months though unless some councilman pulls some strings.
2 of my friends are HHA. I just had dinner with them last night. very very very wonderful ladies. I've learned more about what they do.
I was a HHA and some HHA lived with clients that had Alzheimer's . One snow storm the company I worked for made more home visits than the
Post Office did. We checked up on all our clients to made sure they had food . meds and heat . And that they were not snowed in encase they had a fire and needed get out of their home in a hurry. My clients thought I would not be there to see them b/c the storm was so bad. I would also reported when my clients laws needed cutting so it not get dried out and start a fire or made it look like no one home so one break in while my client was home.
Health aides and visiting nurses cars were getting towed during snow storms
in my city and my bossed called the city hall to see if something could be done about this. My boss had no luck so I called my mayor office and got her allowed HHA and nurses to park their cars during parking bans. My boss was speechless when I called her up about this. Yes HHA do a lot than cook meals and give sponges baths to our clients and this was why my
mayor told the polices not to tow car that had signs saying thy were HHA.
@ Reba , that exceptions made no sense at all , so it's saying a fire in a smaller building can't be deadly how insane. I hope this will change now that we had lost one of our member, I keep hoping the rules will be fixed so another deaf or hoh person does not dies a horrible tragic dead as Mark did. I been looking on line to see who I can call to voice my concerned .
I don't want to see Mark's death be in vain. I want actions to be taken . I feel we all should try to see that this "exceptions" Mark posted will be taken off the book !
