[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If all the adults around your parent are in inflexible full time jobs, then your parent needs to have an aide who can get her to appointments, [b]ask the questions and jot down some notes.[/b] Either with an agency or found by word of mouth or something. I have a friend who is currently driving from DC to NYC where her MIL lives (not even her parent!), to take her to medical appointments and such. It's crazy, and I hope they find a more long-term solution. [/quote] Being knowledgeable/competent enough to know the right questions to ask and jot down notes goes above and beyond what a lot of more general aides do. It would definitely needs to be an aide/caregiver that works for your mom consistently and regularly (like scheduled for multiple hours, several days a week) and not just a random employee that an agency sends for sporadic appointments.[/quote]
