A Nanny-Cam?

You may want to consider installing a nanny-cam so you can see for yourself what is happening. A small camera lens can be installed in a lamp, clock radio, smoke detector, Kleenex box, phone, or just about anywhere. It sees a 90-degree angle of the room and transmits into a recorder. If the complaints are well-founded, report to the agency or take appropriate action on your own. If the complaints are superficial, strengthen the caregiver’s resiliency about how to handle their difficult patient. Make it very clear to everyone that your elder does not have the power to fire the caregiver, or you’ll go through this many times. Be sure to block all 976 and International calls on the phone, and don’t forget to ask for a copy of the caregiver’s driver’s license and car insurance–in case your elder travels in their car.
