My 91 year old father lived alone but has increasing trouble with forgetfulness and daily needs. He can dress himself, walk on his own, play the piano and be very charming and with it but then he forgets what happened in the present. He makes numerous phone calls to all our siblings because he can't remember that he just called.This caregiver is trying to train my father to rely solely on him and to change things that my father used to do and that brought him comfort. My brother stayed upstairs in the evenings and the caregiver wants him out and wants us not to pick up my fathers phone calls . I
The caregiver has already divided the family.
Why would your other siblings want your brother out?
Who is the one spokesperson, the one in charge? Who hired the caregiver?
We've known the caregiver for two weeks. I think it is crazy to give him total control.
Just fire (delete expletive) the caregiver, report to the agency.
This is way more dangerous than you may know.
The caregiver can work around family visits.
Even though this is a red flag, (attempting to isolate the patient) maybe the caregiver can be trained. The caregiver should not be making demands.
