What is the name of your state? Virginia
Here's my situation, I'm hoping someone out there can give me some good advice.
My mom has had a stroke and for about a year she was absolutely miserable in a nursing home. I have since brought her home and hired some CNAs to take care of her. For awhile, I was using an agency but I found that the agency was generally disreputable for a variety of reasons and I have now hired some girls privately and I'm paying them myself. All of this is very expensive and we're struggling to keep afloat.
Today at work, someone mentioned that I could have a serious problem if one of my CNAs is injured in my home. How should I go about protecting myself? Should I buy Workers Comp insurance for these ladies? If so, where would I find this insurance and how much would it cost? I've talked to one healthcare company and they said they can't offer Workers Comp insurance to private individuals, but only to businesses.
Thanks in advance!
