[quote=Anonymous]1. OP, you need to argue with your parents, if you have not already. Tell them what a huge sacrifice it was for you to set this all up and how when another emergency arises, it will be really hard on you to do it all over again. 2. Who is paying the caregivers' checks? You? Them? If you are the one managing the finances, just tell the caregivers to keep showing up. 3. Can you cut down the hours? At first we had an 830 to 1230 shift and then a 430 to 830 shift. That was enough to give meds, cook meals, help change in and out of clothes. But they got the afternoons to themselves in their house. 4. It might be a good idea for the caregivers to give them some space. Don't sit in the TV room with them, but rather get a baby monitor and go sit in another room so they feel like they have some privacy.[/quote]
