		<description><![CDATA[She&#8217;s been here once before, and not much has changed with her.  She is an older home support worker, but frankly, not what I&#8217;d call a Great Worker.  She is in a rush, and has a rather hard sounding tone to her voice, that isn&#8217;t exactly comforting, or soothing in any way.

		<description><![CDATA[This whole caregiving job has no guidelines, no books that explain what you will go through, or how to adapt to the changes, to the frustrations. There is no magic course to take, that will teach you how to be a loving, compassionate, caregiver.

Either it is in you, or it isn&#8217;t.

You can talk and discuss ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do they do it?
Caring for an elder parent, with mobility issues, with health issues, on a 24/7 basis is not simple, nor easy. I am finding that I am bound to the house, more and more, and rely on David to do the chores, such as grocery shopping, or even shopping for household items ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Granted, scheduling multiple workers, for numerous patients, some only on a temporary basis, is not simple or easy. After all you have to take into account the experience levels, the type of care being required by the worker, as well as seniority &#38; location, but it is a doable task.
