There are drawbacks to home care.Home environments become disrupted with high-technology equipment,which limits living space.Siblings feel displaced or frightened by all the equipment,procedures,and disrupted routines.Other siblings often have to serve as caregivers.Demands of caregiving,careers,household duties,and other children in the household limit leisure and cause stress.The most significant barrier is funding.Obtaining funding involves long waiting periods,negotiations,and evidence of discharge planning.Although insurance programs pay for inpatient care,they typically do not pay for home care.
