Caregiver Attachment
How do any of you handle Caregiver "attachment?" My Father has a primary homecare aide who is beginning to overstep common boundaries, i.e. Accepting too much money when offered by my Father, and not conferring with me. She has started to record me on her cell phone without my permission, and as much as I know my Father has become dependent upon her, I feel as though "time is up." I have a husband who is handicapped and need to assist him with his day to day business. My solution would have been to move my Father into my home and hire an in home caregiver at my location. I don't want to upset my Father w/change. Suggestions?
