My mom continues to pay her M-W-F home care aide (who mostly helped her get in and out of the car and drove her places, plus laundry, some light cleaning and help with hygiene and meal prep) even though she no longer lets her in the house (mom has lost good helpers in the past when leaving town for more than a few days since they will take hours at another house to fill the gap in their pay).

Now helper does a Costco and normal grocery store run once a week and leaves the bags on the porch. She already knows what mom likes from shopping together for several months and has a night job as a stocker at a grocery store anyway, so no additional exposure risk for her.
