[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone been in a situation where memory care keeps calling and asking for sitters? The place is very expensive (over $400 a day). I can't afford private duty on top of this and also can't spend multiple evenings a week supervising my father who is in the final stage, non verbal, but still able to walk and is a huge fall risk. Also, the erratic behavior is unpredictable. He can be fine in the morning and then very agitated and walking around unsafely suddenly (disoriented, frantic, screaming). So suddenly I will get a call at random evening hours where they can't manage him. Just enrolled him in hospice at the memory care and hoping that will help. The constant calls are stressing me out, and if he gets kicked out I'm not sure where he can go and who will accept him.[/quote]
