Often time getting a professional caregiver who stays with your parent to fully care for them is a pain in the neck, we end up leaving them at the mercy of house-helps, who don’t understand Elderly care, especially if the aged person is dealing with health issues like Alzheimer’s, Dementia or stroke. The help may not know how to go about rendering care to such person, they may end up abusing them or taking advantage of them, that’s why we can’t dispute the idea of allowing professional elderly care agency look after older ones or move them to nursing homes.
