This is the story! And until lawmakers change their moral compasses and allow those in the trenches helping others to earn a living wage the State will pay more for residents of Texas care in a facility because people have had enough. It's too Ridiculous!!!
It’s pitiful that TX pays low wages to care for our vulnerable people in the community!! There are tons of ADLs that need to be done, but wages are bread crumbs & peanuts, not to mention the agencies WILL NOT PAY FOR GAS!! I was my Mother’s caretaker & her agency was paying $9.50/hr, thru Medicaid. No complaints about low pay for being a caregiver for Mom. I am currently a caregiver for private pay clients & I absolutely REFUSE to work for low wages to care for someone else, other than her!
I work from home taking care of my mom on a waiver program 24seven seven days a week.....it is terrible the pay and it is not enough...you r paid only so many hours even though you r working 24seven and more than 40 ,hours but the company refuses to pay no more then the minimum so I can speak for myself Alabama state I hope for all states across the US they will pay better wage and more for the car gives working the hours especially when you're working over 40hours a week and being paid only half..it is such a disjustice to hard working caregivers ad it is not enough to make a living on just the crumbs I get along once I pay my rent and power bill I literally have nothing left 🙏🙏🙏🤷🤦this is a serious topic of a crisis around our states and I wish the systems would do better.
With property taxes skyrocketing across Texas it’s likely far tougher on seniors as empty nesters choosing to age in place who need to keep their homes an avoid homelessness.
How can many lawmakers not have empathy for people who need the best help. The worse is Abbott who still is eviley angry he is one like this and refuses to listen, help or be human. True sad breaking crisis.

This is sad.
Caregivers should be paid $25 or more an hour.
This has been a problem for many years.
Just awful
