3/ It looks like the reason #Ohio is pausing the Home Waiver program provider enrollment is because of a recent hit piece by right-wing The Daily Wire.
The next day, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee wrote to the director of Ohio’s Medicaid program questioning the validity of paying family caregivers following a critical report by a conservative website.
It should be noted, the home waiver programs saves Federal and State Medicaid programs around $100K per patient getting nursing home level care at home vs warehoused in a nursing home, run substandard by a venture capital firm and private equity. Most of the labor is free.

I tried this method. Vacuuming [or carpet beating] afterwards helps to get rid of any remaining dust mites!
How to Kill #DustMites Naturally with Cold

"If you’ve got allergies or asthma, you probably are wondering how to kill dust mites naturally. The tiny insects create #allergens that can cause health problems for kids and adults. Dust mites can be somewhat difficult to kill. The good news is, you can naturally kill dust mites with cold temperatures.
[...]
"Either find a covered spot, like a covered porch outside, or set up a drying rack outdoors when there is no precipitation in the air. For instance, you don’t want it to be snowing or foggy.
"Then, all you have to do is place fabric items outdoors in the freezing temperatures for a while.
- Place pillows on the drying rack or on chairs on your porch.
- Drape comforters on a drying rack or over the back of chairs.
- Gather up pet toys or kids toys in a breathable basket (like wicker or canvas, not hard plastic) and place them outdoors.
How long do you keep items outside in the cold temperature to kill dust mites?
"Opinions vary, but a minimum of 24 hours seems to be the rule of thumb, according to the Mayo Clinic. If you can only manage 8 hours or so, it’s better than doing nothing at all. Ideally, 48 hours would be the perfect time frame for killing dust mites.
"Keep in mind, the freezing temperatures need to be sustained for the entire time. It can’t be 32 degrees in the morning and then warm up to 45 degrees all day for this to work."

Hey, hi, hello. Do you need to shampoo someone that can't get in a shower or bath for reasons? Can they sit in a chair or lay in a bed with their head just a bit over one end? Cool. Google "shampoo funnel" & go from there.
