What are the liabilities of having unlicensed staff in home? Our daughters want non-licensed CNAs to work with their father.

Thank you so much for your insight.....I should have said HIS daughters instead of ours....they are both RNs....but they work, so their time here would be limited...I think you are correct and he needs to be in a facility...I guess time will tell what happens, but good to know your helpful advice....God bless

Speaking form experience, it would be in your husbands best interests to be in a facility. Do your daughters really know what they are in for? This is a monumental task that they are about to undertake.
Unlicensed and uneducated are two different things. You could have unlicensed help that could be very knowledgeable in pt. care. However, asking someone to transfer a very large pt. could result in injuries that you would be liable for.
Caregiving is difficult. Caregiving of a very large pt. is extremely difficult. You state that your husband is incontinent. This means that his skin is in danger of breakdown. He will need to be moved and bathed often. You will need two aides working together as one aide alone would contribute to a very unsafe environment for both aide and pt.
Now all that being said, it can still be done if your daughters have their hearts set on it. They can hire aides from an agency. These aides have some training but usually are not licensed. However you will not be liable if they injure themselves while working as you will not be their employer.
I hope these suggestions are of use to you. The best of luck to you and your family.
