[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you need a housekeeper OP, not an aide.[/quote]
for just asking the question? thanks for the input[/quote]

Ask better questions if you want better answers- the tasks you listed are housekeeper duties.[/quote]

I think you're being rough on the OP. There is a huge learning curve when you're forced into the world of eldercare, and it is generally accompanied with a lot of stress. Getting involved with a parent's or loved one's need for care workers is really tough. So show some grace. OP is clearly at the beginning of this journey.

OP, if you're asking because you're getting some pushback or things are left undone, you have your answer. Show appreciation anyway. You don't want to have to do it yourself.

Also, we did ask that when one care worker was leaving at the end of her shift that she clean up after herself and what she did for our dad. The next care worker doesn't want to walk into a mess left by the previous person. Beyond that, which was requested politely, that was all they would do.

Good luck.[/quote]
