[quote=Anonymous]For the caretakers to stay until the very end - rather than seeking a new position - it’s a selfless act on some level. My father’s will stipulated that his main caretaker was to receive $8000 if she remained until his death. I’m not aware of why that amount was settled on. It took her 3 weeks to find another job that she was well-matched for so at minimum it helped her find a good employer. My father also had a rotating list of caretakers from an agency which were not recognized in the will. Presumably agency caretakers would be assigned to another client. Some of us in the family individually also gave the caretaker cash gifts and notes. We were incredibly grateful that our father - and earlier our mother - had caring and competent help as they lived their final days. Be as generous and caring as you can be.[/quote]
