[quote=Anonymous]I think your expectations are not reasonable for such a lower paying job. For the amount these people are paid just be pleased to know your parent is safe, supervised, eating and clean. We found our parent just rotted in front of the TV at home no matter who the aide was or what family visited. Memory care was far better because there is more stimulation and more choices-sing a longs, chair exercise and fall prevention group, movies, etc. Yes there are drawbacks-things go missing, they can be understaffed, etc, but in terms of mood and level of engagement we saw some aging backward with Memory care-not getting back cognitive functioning-just better mood and more interest in life. Totally different person from the one rotting in front of the TV disinterested in engaging.[/quote]
