Not two careers you'd link together but apparently they use a similar skill set.
The carer (I am using this term loosely) who comes round twice a week for half an hour to wash my dad is going back to bricklaying. Social Services outsource this to a private company. Clearly this company
A) think that bricklayers are suitably skilled to become carers - bricks, people, they're similar right?
B) offer such a brilliant job that people would rather do the job they chose to leave in the first place.
This departure means a return to a parade of even worse carers who do their best to get in & out the house without doing anything. He had dementia he;
A) lies
B) doesn't like washing
You'd think that "carers" would at least try to get him in the bathroom and would at least have had some basic training. For example if you wash his back, dry his back. He obviously can't reach.
Two words: care crisis.
