She only visits 1 time wk but treats me and her mom horrible. I've been here a year and 1/2. Very under paid. Ithink 900 a month only have 24 hours a wk free. Pt. has dementia. I do housekeeping, yardwork. Plus she doesn't sleep much but I love her. I'm a medical assisstant so I care for a reaccurring wound on leg, comfort her depression. Daughter won't do anti depressant. I've got her strong enough physical therapy n longer needed. She's healthier than in years and very happy. Daughter had neglectful people before me. Dehydrated, malnourished, theives. I'm worried who will care for her. The daughter just yells because the dementia. I'm so patient w her. I love her.
Advice from others is sound.
You are worth far more than what you are getting paid. (not even going to mention that it is not legal what you are are paid) The worth I am talking abut is your care, compassion, dedication to someone that is in a situation you describe.
The daughter is verbally abusive to her mom
She is financially abusing you (not paying you what she should as well as not following the law for number of hours worked)
Please report the situation and as we often say on this site....you have to take care of yourself!!!
Are you paid overtime? I know the answer is no. Are taxes, social security, etc deducted from your check? Probably not.
What this daughter is doing is illegal. Start with calling the Labor Board in your state to help you with the situation. And Adult Protective Services they will make sure that the woman you are caring for gets the help she needs.
Best of luck to you, whatever you decide.
Can you negotiate the day off when her daughter is there?
And do you need a raise? Negotiate for that when and if you are asked to stay.
Bless you, wherever you work.
