Cost-Effectiveness and Financial Stability
 

Choosing the other parent as the EOR offers cost-effectiveness and financial stability for the husband and wife seeking care for their son. Given that the EOR position is nonpaid, opting for a non-live-in EOR introduces the need to find and compensate an external individual for their services. This can impose significant financial strain on the family, especially considering the comprehensive care needs associated with their son's multiple medical issues. By selecting the other parent as the EOR, the family can effectively manage their finances and allocate resources toward their son's care without incurring additional expenses. This approach ensures financial stability, reduces the burden of seeking external EOR candidates, and promotes a more sustainable caregiving arrangement for their son's long-term needs.
