There are some who should not be home support workers. There are others like Wanda, Arlene, Tracy, & Yvette who should be. Sophie doesn’t fall into that category.
What is it with some women, who try to confuse an older person, by insisting they have been here before, that we didn’t have a dog then. Kind …
Once again Beacon Community Services has thrown a wringer into Sunday.
This time, not only did they change the schedule, and worker, but sent one who’s native language isn’t English. Now, that doesn’t mean its bad, unless the person’s ability to communicate in English is so bad, no one can totally understand every word spoken.
Worker changes, …
It is an interesting side note, to the way Beacon Community Services deals with its Patients. They provide a schedule, to their Patients so they can supposedly know who is going to be attending.

Well Substitute #1 for the week is gone, and even Mom agrees, NOT one of the better workers.
To begin with, I really don’t think making personal calls at the end of your time, is appropriate, especially when you haven’t finished the assignment. I know that time is precious, but really, things need to be done right, …
This is gonna be a fun week for us both.
2 of the regular home support workers are off this week, which means, we get newbies for four out of the five days. And the first one scheduled was Anita, but hey, we got a substitute for her already, Trudy. LOL
So far, a nice lady but …
You know, it really isn’t fair, to the worker, to mother, to me, to be sent in cold to a place. AND yet, that is what happens when you send a substitute in, without giving them any information on what is expected of them, of what they are about to face.
