Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Her mother hired you but the family does not know. Whose mother, the Clients or the other aides? Is thisca mother and daughter team? So if she hired you, she can fire you. I think I would look for another job. When I find it, Ivwould then inform a family member in what is going on. If the aide is leaving and being paid for the time, this is fraud. For now, you have voiced your concerns and have been given answers. Now just do your job to the best of your ability.
I had home health care with an agency and had a problem with a couple of aides leaving before their time was up. After my sister was placed in a day program, this cut down on this.
However, in your case, I would suggest looking for a new case or signing up with a couple of agencies for some work.
In this line of work, you will see all types of mess going on.
The mother of the person who is leaving hired you? The mother made the person who is leaving your boss? i.e. head caregiver?
How long have you been working there?
Have you ever met the family? Is the family in the area or out of state?
Normally you would report this to the person who hired you but if you report the situation to the mother I can see the mother and her daughter just making excuses.
Her mother hired me and has handed the boss roll over to her and she's fully aware. It's the family who are unaware, it's a private homecare job. I've been told before that they have been with her for 6 yrs and the family will believe them over me anytime.
I would not continue to work in this situation if you are not believed. You need to 1. REPORT THIS 2. If you are not believed you need to report this to APS You are a MANDATED REPORTER 3. You need to resign this position with a letter saying why you are leaving and with copies to APS, the woman you are reporting, and the family. 4. Keep a copy of your letter of resignation with your records.
If you work with an agency you report this at once to the agency. If you work independently you report this at once to the person who hired you. You already know, I must assume, that this is quite dangerous.
That's absolutely what I would do myself, unfortunately her mother hired me and then made her boss. They've made it plainly clear the family will take their side over mine. She puts her in bed before leaving and puts sidewalls up, and feels this is ok. I feel very uncomfortable and if I were family I would want to know. Wasn't sure how others felt about it.
