My son has used the Technology Assisted Waiver for years, and I have a couple of concerns that I would like to share with you:

1. The making up or trading of any missed scheduled shifts, days or hours of care may be done within 72 hours of the missed scheduled shift but the total hours made up, including for any day, shall not exceed 16 hours per day for any reason.: If any of my son nurses misses a shift, I will be the person taking care of him. Though, the way the regulation is now, there is no way to make up for the shift and give the parent some rest.
2. Restrictions on daily allotment of hours. Every day is different. Some days we have appointments far, sometimes close by. It is inconceivable that the hours are based on a rigid schedule when our lives are not and many times not very predictable.

So for both of the above, I am asking for more flexibility in the hours. The total hours should be added as a total, monthly or at least weekly.

I learnt about this forum from another parent. I was very surprised and disappointed that I was not contacted directly for it. At the end of the day, we are the one using it, and have the needs, so there no best person to say what should be improved,

Thanks in advance,
