Owners of company hired me, started to work after doing training, which consisted of cleaning the house and meeting the clients, for 3 hours. I found this job through the employment office.
When hired they had informed me that they had to fire their caregiver every month. For theft of meds. I agreed to work not knowing what was ahead. I did a great job at everything, including controlling diet for diabetics, to the point of hardly any insulin needed. They had a bedroom for each of the caregivers to share. What was suspicious was the porch light blew out 2x's in one month. Then one night i heard someone leaving the house, the door had been locked.
Well, anyway, One night the power had gone out, I had lite a couple of candles, but my 96 yr old had gotten up, and fell. No phone service was available, so i had to leave her a go next door to get the owner to assist with helping her up, he did and left.in the morning i had mentioned to the the female owner that she really needed to get a land line. She got irate with me, and went and told her husband, he came over all p&off at me, for telling them how to run their business.
I truly was just trying to help. Needless to say their were so many insidences of this type to mention. But the biggest deals of all was when, I was leaving for my 3 days off, and she had came over all mad again, and had slammed my ladies hands, with really bad arthritis, into the kitchen table, she moaned, I had asked her if she was ok, the owner turned to me and yelled, "I'm the owner of this company and I know how to treat them", then I continue to pack my things to the car.
When I had come back in the house, she had move that lady to the recliner, to transfer. (Did I mention this lady has only 1 and 1/2 legs) Well, I witnessed her drop her 3 TIMES, before I got to her to help get her in the chair. Well, that was when all hell broke lose. She had gone next door to tattle again. This time he came to repremend me, for saying anything about her doing that to the lady at the table, and told me I was fired. OK, fine, but then he started adding up my hours, they had crossed out my anitials and put theirs, I argued. I was 2 days short, but it was worth it to get out of there.
By the time I got to town they had called the police on me for stealing the meds, the chief of police went to my moms shop a had asked for me, and told her what I had been accused of. I was appalled. I went straight to the state and reported the abuse to the worker.
These people should not be allowed to care for ANYONE, but that is just my oppinion. And these are well known Christians.
