Get his case worker to get another agency! And DO NOT be afraid to complain!! Tell the agency! Tell the case worker!! Tell the abuse hotline!! The nurses,cna's and homemakers will get away with anything they can! He needs to be more assertive--I know its hard, it took a long time for me to take the reins! Some homemakers work for me for 1 day and I never see them again! I request people who come and I think we can get along and they do a good job. The agency actually likes that as it keeps me off their back and and I get a decent worker! If he winds up in the hospital, tell the doctor why! Tell the agency too! I got a nurse fired once as she told me to do something without doctors orders and I wound up with a pressure sore, a flap and 6 weeks in the hospital. Hope that helps! take care,
