My frustration with the state provided caregivers is never ending.
In 3 weeks I have been given 4 different caregivers from one agency.
The first one came and stayed ofr one hour.
Number2 was from Somalia and had a very noisy car that pooped out on the 2nd visit-she did accomplish quite a lot-taking off the closet doors and leaving them out on the deck, exposed to the elements.
Number 3 came for 6 hours one day-she proceeded to treat me lie a not very bright 2 year old-what can I expect from agencies?-they either treat me like I'm senile or mentally delayed.
She checked out my library books for me-something I'm usually do -along with following me around the library and carrying every book I pulled out to just look at...frustrating.
In the car she adjusted the seat to what she thought was a proper seating position for me (too upright and too close to the dash)-then fastened the seatbelt too snugly.
Way too much attention and care.
Number 4 is pregnant, on food stamps, has a 2 year old and a husband.
Keeps asking me if i'm all right, can you lift that?-let me lift that...finally I broke loose-please stop asking me if I'm all right-I'll ask for your help when I want it-do not ask me if I'm sure I can eat all that watermelon or if I'm sure I want to buy whatever expensive item I'm looking at in Costco.
I'm sick of being second guessed-
Money-it's mine-you do NOT have ANY say in how or where I choose to spend.
Or not.
Care-do not write me down as refused. This is consumer directed care-not follow the care assessment.
