Can paid family caregivers be fired?
It is not unusual for families to differ about how to provide optimal caregiving for older family members. An important first step in resolving such differences it to fully understand each person’s opinion. In this instance it could mean completely understanding the executer’s concerns and doing what you can to position the executors to understand the patient’s and other’s concerns. In this way you give everyone a chance to be sure their most important points are on the table; for example, the common consequences of promoting dependence in older people. Often, if each person is truly listening they can see valid points held by others they have not yet recognized. If you take this step and nothing changes there are other low cost options in many areas for outside assessment and intervention such as the county department of social services.
