Ask Volunteers To Help

Ask your family and friends to help. The more they do, the less there is to do for an aide – which translates into less time and less expense.

You may not be used to asking for help. Keep in mind that people who care about you want to do something to help. Giving them specific chores allows them to feel like they’re doing something to help someone they care about.
