Preaching to the choir, I know. So thanks for any virtual hugs and backatcha.

Both parents in their 90's, both with dementia. (They do not live with me but I am the caregiver in all ways). Dad is newly diagnosed with cancer. My husband is newly diagnosed with a heart condition that requires a procedure in a month.

Dad is overly critical of me and my efforts. We took them to California 2 weeks ago (2 wheelchairs, all supplies necessary, large rental car, accessible rental house) so my dad could see the ocean before he got too sick. He criticized my efforts.

I'm tired. That's all. Sorry for the whining.

We're staying at a beautiful house on the ocean in Orange County CA. We arrived on Sunday (it was quiet). Today is Wednesday and we have had to listen to construction noise (that was not disclosed to us at all when we booked).

The houses here have a walking alley width between them. The house next door (where the construction is going on) is about 6 feet away.

The living room windows have no covering because its the ocean. This afternoon, a worker was standing on our patio to jackhammer the dividing wall. he is currently watching me.

We paid 4k for 5 nights here. We bought my parents. Mom has dementia and dad has alzheimers and recently was diagnosed with cancer. They are in their mid 90s, so obviously there is no treatment. This is literally their last hurrah.

My husband called to complain. We were told they were unaware of construction now (he thought it started and finished about a month ago). We were offered a discount for a future stay.

We're at a loss as we simply wanted a lovely, extravagant few days at the beach, my dad's favorite place to be.

I am in tears.

eta because of apparent confusion. the owners SAID they were unaware, however its a gated community with an hoa. homeowners must inform neighbors in writing of any construction and the approx time frame.

tl dr, very noisy, owners knew, did not inform us and actually lied about knowing.
