You might want to talk to the Area Agency on Aging that serves your community/county. Many times they are looking for folks who are willing to assist the elderly in their homes. Another outlook for possible opportunities is your state Health and Human Services Dept. Again, there are programs that are lookoing for/need providers. Here in my state, there is also a statewide respite network that is also available to folks trying to stay in their homes. Here they provide services to the elderly, adult with disabilities and children. Just some thoughts. Good luck!!
