P. v. Baumann CA1/4
Defendant was paid by the department to provide in-home support services to two elderly women. Under the needs assessment done by the department, the first client was entitled to six hours a month for house cleaning, four hours and 45 minutes a week for meal preparation, two hours and 40 minutes a week for meal clean-up, one hour a week for laundry, one hour and 30 minutes a week for grocery shopping and other errands, 42 minutes a week to assist with bathing and getting dressed, 16 minutes a week for ambulation assistance with doctors appointments and 30 minutes a week for accompanying her to her medical appointments. After receiving a report that the client’s home was not habitable, a social worker visited the client’s home to perform a welfare check. At that time, he found that the home was covered in dried dog feces and urine, “the kitchen was not clean,” the entire home “smelled horrible,” and everything was so dirty “you didn’t want to sit down.”
