Carenote From Kathy

Welcome to CareNotes. In this special section we will feature a reader's letter and provide an opportunity for an interactive exchange that will help find some answers and possible solutions to concerns. 

I have a lot on my plate with my 91-year-old dad. I work six hours a day at two different schools. I cannot retire yet. Almost 63 and I have to go to at least 65. My husband is a teacher and gets home after 6:00.

I haven't hired a caregiver yet and I really don't want to. I've heard too many horror stories from close friends and family. You can interview them and they act like they are the best thing, then you find out they steal from you and your dad or mom.

I do need help and I know not all caregivers are like this, but how do you know the good from the bad? Very difficult. I'm getting burned out. I need some suggestions, please.
