| Annotation | This qualitative study examined relationships between adult daughters caring for older disabled mothers and the mothers' personal care workers (PCWs) paid directly by the Wisconsin Community Options Program (COP). A subset of a larger study, in these five cases the PCWs provided substantial hands-on care without substituting for the heavy care also provided by the daughters. Direct payment offered the daughters and workers freedom to schedule around their family obligations and other limits and tailor care to the abilities of all three participants. It also allowed the daughters to be the paid providers when they wanted. (AKM). |
