Wow! That sounds like a nightmare! That’s also my fear. It’s sad that there are so few good options for in home care as we age.

Good morning, @alive It often was for us. I tell this more as a precautionary tale for others so they can realize finding adequate home care can be very unlike the TV advertisements. I often wonder what that industry is like now that help is so hard to find for so many firms. At least here, I believe a contributing factor was these companies' business models. They were charging me $60-$75 an hour, but only paying their employees minimum wage. I understand "overhead", etc., but that imbalance seemed way out of whack to me and, I believe, contributed greatly to their atrocious turnover rates.

Hopefully, this will not be the situation in your community at all!

Strength, Courage, & Peace
