Approach to bringing in a caregiver for wife

We have a caregiver from an agency. She is here with my husband 2 days a week. He is still functional but needs 24/7 guidance with everything and he doesn’t drive. She makes his meals and drives him to the gym and errands and in between does light housekeeping. I love it and he enjoys her.
We both interviewed her with the agency coordinator. My husband wax in on the decision from the start.
However there are still days where he resents me going out all day. But I let that go and enjoy a few hours of freedom.
I hope the agency will help you identify your needs and interview the person.

We are not there yet, but I cherish my classes that I take 3-4 times a week. I’ve been dreading thinking at some point, I will not be able to continue those, and see my friends. Your post gives me hope. Currently we have folks who clean, and my husband doesn’t even like them coming in, so not sure how this will play out. Thank you for this.
