in Caring for a Parent

Whether you choose in-home or facility care, the caregivers are special people. They are there when you and your loved one need them. They earn every penny, or buck, and our most incredible, deepest thanks…..

    Care Givers ARE Very special people. My mom is in AL and soon to be MC. Every time I interact with them, I tell them thank you for all you do. My sister tried to come in and take over care…was mean…and rude. I got the administrator on board with me and we had to change HIPAA and finally my sister got the message she couldn’t bully staff. But it created a lot of difficulties.
