It’s like I’m running on a treadmill, Michael confided, his voice threading through the quiet room, constantly moving but getting nowhere. His eyes, usually a beacon of unwavering resolve, flickered with the weariness of constant goodbyes and hellos in his team. “Every new face, every training session, it feels like a déjà vu of departure, and amidst it all, I’m missing out…on life, on my kids.”

But Michael’s struggle isn’t solitary. It resonates with many home and community based services (HCBS) owners, perhaps even you, navigating through the perpetual cycle of hiring and training, all while silently yearning for a moment of respite, a slice of time that belongs just to you and your loved ones.
