If the caregiver is on 24 shifts, a room is required, not a perk. Caregivers don’t generally work more than 3 24 hour shifts a week as we tend to have LIVES outside of our jobs. The way it works is there are 2 and sometimes 3 that rotate out and use the same room for night sleeping shift.

Folks that think they can rent out a room and require 24/7 care of gramma are going to get a potential nightmare squatter/crackhead/thief to deal with, then still have to pay for competent care.

Folks that think there are ‘cheap caregivers’ get what they pay for.
