The son has power over them but has now decided to have private caregivers bc our company is too expensive. My only other shift was an overnight & I got here at 10pm & they were already in bed.When I arrived I noticed that the couple hasn’t been showered in a week. Her colostomy bag hasn’t been emptied in a few days let alone replaced. What am I supposed to do. Other family members are aware but say it’s out of their hands. Today is my last shift .
Observation only no speculation.
This is your last shift with this family.
You move on to another client.
This is part of being a caregiver for an agency.
The son is POA, if you do not think that they are being given proper care and you think there may be abuse of any type, (physical, neglect, verbal) you report it to APS.
