I been working with this family for about 4 weeks now 3 times a week i don't really do mornings like that so today i was a little all over the place i forgot to take my shoes off, yes it happens but she didn't say anything but i seen her face and later remembered oh thats right the shoes, second i needed help getting him in the chair since i never really got taught how to place him in the chair alone then she walked out without saying anything like she just was upset about everything i do. I asked her where is the coffee so i can make his coffee in the morning she was like that needs to be done as soon as you get in before he wakes up, how am i suppose to make the coffee if you never showed me where it was in the first place like this family just be giving me the ick. One they already weird as it is and two the communication be all off this is probably the worst family i worked with through this company i don't complain because i like my patient even if he be perverted sometimes but he just a man and in pain but she makes me not want to come back. And third she didn't tell me he was going to his son house today like isn't that something your supposed to tell your caregiver because the son came early to pick him up and that leaves me cutting my hours short because you guys are going somewhere and didn't even tell me or the nurse about it so they could adjust my hours. . . She was just nick picking all day and it was only 4 hours.

So this is kind of a vent post. I’ve been working with my client for over 2 years now and she has been slowly on the decline ever since she had pneumonia. Her family has been very overbearing when it comes to micromanagement, messaging me on days off about every small thing, and complaining about there being ‘no food in the house’ after I was on vacation and not there for 2 weeks. This has been ongoing the past two years but it’s gotten even worse recently. Her two sons are in their 70s so obviously they’re not in the best shape either! They both live out of state but manage to cause and me and my client trouble almost every day. It’s not that they’re unsatisfied with the care I give their mother. They just want me to do stuff that isn’t my job! Take the car to the shop, do this do that and i’m so sick of it! Since my client is on the decline as well, she has been misremembering everything and stressed herself out over everything and telling her family members a lot of stuff that doesn’t happen. I know it’s part of the job but it’s at the point where they think i’m an actual slave to their mother! I can deal with my client deteriorating, i just can’t deal with the family on top of that.

Hello I am interested in being a hha but the thing that throws me off is the going to people house part because working in health care you sometimes experience violent from patients I am very short for my age and would like to know the good or bad of this job a lot of people tell me the good but never mention the bad I tired to Google , TikTok and other social media platforms.

like what should i do? The work is easy but the client is annoy old man who be rubbing me the wrong way hold my hand, talking about you so pretty, its disgusting and i don't feel comfortable.
