One guy is rough when the rolls me, and is extremely verbal. The rest are
all horrible -- they are all verbal and abandoned me at crucial times. It's
the worst it's ever been in 13 years. I'm worried that if I fire them, I'll
have no one. I'm trapped.

I've never called, but if you think you need to, call sooner rather than
later. If someone is abusive, it will only increase. Whether it be physical,
mental, or just neglect. I know we are kind of screwed in that area, hard to
even fire a caregiver until you have a new one hired. I think if I had an
abusive caregiver or thought there was a problem in some way and was scared
of them. I would not call protective services first, I'd call the police.
Once the police were involved, I'd think you would get better service from
protective services. More help until you can find a new caregiver. But if
there is even a worry about a caregiver, I'd get them out of there, then
worry about what to do..

Has anyone ever called adult protective services for caregiver abuse? If you
have, can you tell me what takes place from nine point afterword? Also, when
interviewing new applications for live-in caregivers, what questions do you
ask?
Thanks, Nick
