LeakReceipts for Home Health & Personal Care Aides
The Field Guide: where the money leaks, how to prove it, and how to close it.
The long version of the Home Health & Personal Care Aides Fix Kit. Every leak this trade is known for, why it happens, the paper that proves it, and three fixes for each one: one you do yourself for free, the words to send under your own name, and what LeakReceipts can do for you while the decision stays yours.

The cover
How every number is labeled
Every figure in the book carries a label: VERIFIED (a named, dated source printed beside it), CALCULATED (the math is shown) or ESTIMATE (a reasoned range, always called one). Where nothing has been verified yet, no number is printed and you get a blank to fill from your own paper.
What it can't decide for you
This book is education. It doesn't give legal, tax, accounting or financial advice, and it never tells you what to charge. Where a CPA, attorney or licensing board makes the call, the book says so.
