[quote=Anonymous]A little more... Remember change is frightening, especially as we age. To them it's not just about hiring a helper and the fear the person could steel or be abusive, it's accepting you and your spouse are aging and your spouse is DISABLED. That is why we gradually introduce change through trials. The first goal is to get start getting the feet in the door of people who can help. I have to tell you some of these nurse's aides are a real hoot and have a sense of humor about working with stubborn elderly. I could never kiss up as much and laugh off what some of these people handled. Also, this is KEY...if you find good help, give them cash gifts/tips on the sly now and then with notes of appreciation and be an extra big tipper at holidays. It is such a blessing when you find someone who wins over your parents.[/quote]
