[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Small thoughts: Make sure it is the family that is hiring the home aide. Hired by the family, reports to the family (they can, therefore, only be fired by the family). Hired and fired -- not by the patient. Yes, the patient could, I guess, lock the door and not let them in. Stuff happens.

They have seen it all. No one works with the elderly who hasn't seen it all, sees this before. [/quote]

This was not our experience at all. The dementia patient can fire them. Also case managers are trained to deal with this. Aides are not people have seen it all often. It's a low paying job people take to make ends meet. You are very fortunate when you get someone who truly loves it and will be creative and you reward those people with tips if you can.

OP, are you the one who posted the person is in Europe? If so, do they have adult protective services there? You can get them to check on her. Also, do you have a case manager or social worker to coordinate care. That person may be able to ease the transition and talk her into it. They have many tricks up their sleeves, even therapeutic lies.[/quote]
