My sister had a caregiver in a residential setting ,that was doing a wonderful job. Again she was just let go for no reason and we can't figure it out. Then found out WW-has policy that creates a high turnover by letting go groups of trained workers and offer rehire later. Our family believed this was solely because *they are funded by United way to train staf(not their money wasted) so its not a concern of the wasted funding and just disposable caregiver's. where these funds should be used in best manner for Consumers. This has happened twice and each time was huge setback for our Sister.
