Caregiver Duties Are Reduced

I interviewed a new caregiver candidate yesterday. It hit me hard when I had to explain her duties. They are very simple now that Mom is gone.

In the past, I have interviewed dozens of caregivers to whom I've had to describe a lengthly list of duties chiefly pertaining to my Mom's care. My Mom had to be exercised, changed, bathed, dressed, moved into living room, givin oxygen, and given meds. At night, they had to bathe her, dress her for bed, and move her into her bed.

In contrast, Dad stays in bed all day long.
