My parents caregiver is a very negative person. She is constantly complaining about their faults, their memory issues and everything they do wrong. She criticizes them all day and even mock about them out loud. This person was a former maid that agreed to care for them for free, just momentary. But my parents can´t afford other caregiver for financial reasons. My father has mild dementia and my mother has cancer. My plan is to move my parents into my house to do the care myself. This negative attitude has been increasing on time. I can feel my parents are deeply resented about her but remain quiet because they depend on her for help. It is very stressing. Hopelessly there’s nothing I can do right now until I can move my parents into my house, in about 5 more weeks. Besides all, Im an only child and really have no other source of help. I feel overwhelmed most of the time. Any suggestions?

Fire her. she is not doing her job. Her job is to be a CAREgiver not a criticismgiver.

I don't want to inject more negativity into your situation but if you're overwhelmed most of the time now and your parents live on their own those feelings of being overwhelmed are going to greatly increase when they move into your home. Will you have someone helping you? Have you considered assisted living?

If you were to fire the negative caregiver could you find another caregiver right away for the remaining weeks? It might take you that long just to find someone new and train them.

Have you considered moving your parents into Assisted Living? It sounds like they might qualify for Medicaid.

I understand your situation. You can't afford to pay her so until you can move your parents, you're essentially at her mercy. If you try to sit down and speak with her about it, you'll most likely cause her to leave.
I hate to say it but you'll need to stick it out. That is, as long as she's not abusing your parents because that is a concern. Hopefully they would tell you if that was happening but your father may not even realize it because of his dementia. Anyway, it's only a few more weeks and then you won't have to deal with her. If it were months, I'd be more worried. It's all very stressful to take care of aging parents and you don't need this on top of everything.
I'm assuming that you have looked into other care options - assisted living, nursing home, in-home care. Finances are usually the problem. If either of your parents are veterans, definitely look into the aide and attendance benefits. Also, if your parents qualify, you should look into Medicaid.
Hang in there.

Maybe the negativity and complaining come from bitterness, because she is not being paid? Sure it sounded like a king thing to do when she offered, but then reality set in and each issue for her to deal with becomes an irritant. It is hard enough to do this for a loved one without compensation. Have a heart to heart and let her go, with your gratitude for what she has taken on, albeit imperfectly.

This is sad. Some money is better than no money, can you take her aside and say you'd like to give her $xx per visit, whatever you can afford, but you have the following requests for things you want her to say every visit? In other words, not what you don't want her to say but what to say. Good advice above about looking for a facility they qualify for. Best of luck to you!

You are overwhelmed now just wait until you move 2 people in with you that need constant care!
I think finding Assisted Living or Memory Care that will take both would be a far better option. They will both get the care they need and you will be able to relax a bit and not be overwhelmed. Your father will need Memory Care rather than Assisted living.
You may even want to contact Hospice and see if one or both is eligible for Hospice services. That would give you some help as well if you do decide that you want them to live with you.

Things to keep in mind.
You need to have at least 1 bathroom adapted so that it is easily usable by someone in a wheelchair or using a walker. And even better if you have to get other equipment in like a Sit to Stand or Hoyer.
Grab bars in the bathrooms.
If you do not have an ADA height toilet replace the toilet they will use with a toilet that is a tall one with an elongated bowl.
No carpet in rooms where they will be. Carpet is difficult to move a walker over and or a wheelchair.
Bedroom and bathroom on a first floor.
Ramps for any stairs.
Gated yard when your Dad starts to wander.

There are probably 100 more things that you will need but you will figure those out as they come.
If you have your own family you might want to rethink having your parents move in with you...your family should be your first priority.
Oh...look for a Support Group for yourself. You are going to need one.

One of you challenges is cost so do as agingmyself suggests and seek out government agencies on aging and senior services. Given that you only need help for five weeks you may be able to get a cost saving solution through those sources.

Another thought, do they have a trusted friend who is in better health, or someone from their church who could come at least for some days each week?

The maid agreed to do this "momentarily", but she has been doing it long enough that she is resentful and still has five weeks to go...that is not momentarily. Caregiving is far more demanding than people anticipate. She likely has gotten into something that is more than she bargained for and now feels trapped. On top of that she is not being paid. Frankly, it is a lousy situation for everyone involved regardless of all the good intentions. If you can find someone to take over for her a couple of days a week (I.e. Friends and/or church member) she may have less stress and be better equipped to be a pleasant caregiver. If you take weekends, the maid takes Monday, Wednesday and Friday, one or two other people can take Tuesday and Thursday. It is only for five weeks, it is doable. They had the maid before this and she was willing to do this for free. She was a good fit in the past, give her some relief and she may be able to be a good fit for the next five weeks.

I have to agree some caregivers are stressed to the point of burn out. I was forced to take care of one for two weeks while they got over a prostrate operation, but the dementia came and the other was put in a wheelchair helping the other and now has dementia too. There is no pay ether and constant accusing of stealing keys, flirting with the wife of the older couple, and a thousand little things. im only doing 15 hours 6 day's a week. I keep my cool with them ok, but I have family and the other care taker who spends the night to talk to. . Sounds like she is useing you to talk to and blow off steam, maybe she is not feeling appreciated for all she is doing for no pay. Try giving her a brake with hospice, is there any arengment to compensate her, like when they sell there house and move in with you ? Or is it just a thanks, now get lost deal. This all adds stress, while I agree she should not take it out on them and should just quit it's not her response ability for there care. Only choice I can see is take over now, or get someone else, not everyone is cut out to be a caregiver.

Not many AL take Medicaid clients. ( There are some that do, but limited number) Also consider the level of care needed. AL has limited scope for medical care. Many AL very pricey!
