My sister has the laziest caretaker from Considerate Care on the weekdays. All she does is talk on her phone for the entire day while my sister watches the television. When she finishes giving my sister a shower she will leave the water on just enough to let it drip. This so called "caretaker" is addicted to talking on the phone and the most she will do to bring my sister anywhere is bring her downstairs to the lobby of our building and let her look outside the window while she talks on the phone. Who would have thought talking on the phone all day long with friends and family was part of any job.
Besides talking on the phone, she has broken countless items within our home. She has let my sister hold on to the towel rack, which is only meant to hold towels, and broke that. We got the towel rack replaced and once again through carelessness, she caused that to break too. She also broke the holder to our detachable showerhead so now when we take a shower we must hold it because of the broken holding mechanism. An additional item that she broke was a piece of fine China that was sitting in a display cabinet that she claims, "fell on its own".
One time she almost caused a fire when she boiled water in our kettle and simply forgot about it, we no longer have said kettle.
These are only a few incidents we have had with this caretaker. We have tried to call Considerate Care recently to see if we could find someone to replace her with but, they refuse to do such a thing and constantly reassure us that she will turn around and to give her a chance. We HAVE HAD HER FOR 5 YEARS...through all those incidents we have given her "CHANCES".
In conclusion, if you're trying to find a lazy person who will give their client minimal attention and talk on their cell phone the entire time while breaking items left and right; this is the perfect place to look. read more
