Dawn, I know you have been working hard to find a ‘replacement’ for Steve. Have you tried any of the trainers at a gym? You might even get a lead there.

VA centers may not be able to share. By law, they exist to serve the military and not all veterans are getting the needed care. Since funded by tax dollars and in existence due to law, employees must justify, verify, and report. Tax dollar funding means constant public scrutiny. Consequences for not serving the veterans are severe. Think of this. If someone would try to bend the rules and the media got wind of this (there are military media outlets), the fallout would be devastating. I wouldn’t go this route for Brian.

Your frustrations are valid, Dawn. We pray that Brian’s blisters heal so he can get back to his therapy, that Steve can have his surgery without worrying about Brian’s care, and that a permanent, workable solution , which you feel good about , can be secured for the future.
Hugs to everyone,

Dawn, a possible solution is using several staff for shooter times. What are his specific care needs? One barrier may be proximity from caregivers. I suspect they may come from Harrisburg or York. I’m familiar with a few providers, but not sure how close they might be. I’d be happy to connect with all of them once I can tell them the needs. Another resource of talent might be a VA center, who through their independent living outreach often trains caregivers in similar needs as Brian. Barrier may be their hesitance to share… but worth a try. I’ll think some more and also teach to people I know to see who might work the area.
Best to all of you!
