It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Do you think I should help out my client when it comes to her craft shows meaning loading up her vehicle full of stuff and unloading it? She has me loading tables and tents, and chairs, totes boxes.
I would say if there is ANY chance that you would hurt yourself then the answer is no. What are the duties outlined in the contract from the agency? You do those tasks and only those tasks. If you are hurt doing anything else there is a good possibility that the insurance would not cover you.
Nope. Back in 2009 my MIL was working as a companion aid for an agency. She wasn’t supposed to be be doing any housework but the client had her up on a step ladder doing just that. My MIL lost her balance and fell backwards hitting her spine on the corner wall and breaking her back. We didn’t know that she had osteoporosis pretty bad. She had to hire an attorney to handle her Workers Comp claim. She developed an addiction to the opioids. She didn’t rehab well so now is in LTC with chronic back pain.
Only do what you are being paid to do. If you don’t know how to handle it if your client pressures you then talk to your supervisor for guidance.
Your client has hired you through an agency. What was the agreement as to what you were hired to DO? In my brother's case, he needed someone to take him grocery shopping in their car. The agency needed to know that so they could check the driver, license, accidents record and etc. To me, you are hired for so many hours work. If something is too heavy to load then certainly tell the client it is too heavy for you to lift. I don't see much else needs to be discussed. Do whatever the client likes with your time there. To me, loading the car easier than making food, but that's just me; I no longer like cooking all that much. If you are in doubt, don't ask a bunch of folks giving opinions on a Forum. Go to your agency. That's what they are there for. Just tell them "Client would like me to ___________blah blah; is that OK?"
I hate to break it to you this website is just for that. Asking questions. Lol. This is not a simple task. I'm not here to help out and do that side of work. I'm here only for task that requires assistance with light housing, etc. I don't get paid to do all of that. But you're right about getting in contact with my agency.
