Caregiver

I started my first case looking after a woman with Alzheimer’s. First day was good after that it went downhill. Third day she was nice then turned and said to me to get out or she would call the cops and throw her cup of tea at me. At lunch she took my fork and said she wanted to stab me if I didn’t get out.

Nobody at the agency told me this could happen I couldn’t sleep for days after this episode.I tried everything to divert her mind and cheer her up!

I don’t want to be a caregiver anymore after this.
