Caregiving Discussions

I take care of a 500 lb woman who is bedridden and I live across the street. Would you consider this on call?

I am a non-family live in caregiver for a 91 year old woman who has dementia and a narcissistic personality. What type of compensation can I expect?

Could you use a comprehensive list of caregiving resources?

Just fired from my private live-in homecare job because patient forgets things she told me to do/not do.

My boyfriend stays in a house he built in a non profit organization, and takes care of an elderly man there. He is being accused of fraud.

Not really a question, just want to hear similar difficulties. I am learning the elderly expect and never appreciate...

Good caregivers are so hard to find...

What to do when Caregiver calls me when mom with Dementia gets upset in public?

Caregivers here from foreign lands face uncertainty.

How can anyone be "forced" to care for elderly?

Not necessarily a question. I was new to this, and this forum. My patient passed on the 14th.

I'd like to hear from people who find the positive in caring for a parent or loved one.

Is becoming POA the best tactic to help the elderly? I want to alert others to what many issues arise after becoming POA.

If you could escape your caregiving duties, where would you go?

Do you ever want to run away?

When enough is enough....

Caregiving is not for the weak.

I am so stressed out!!!!!

I was diagnosed with mild dementia earlier this year. Now I'm fearful of what's to come.
