No show carer

[dimity_blue]

I mostly manage to do things for myself. Putting out trash and putting away my shopping are totally beyond me though, so (after much arguing from family and friends) I finally caved and booked a carer to come in once a week for 2 hours. They were supposed to put away my shopping once it was delivered and do any light domestic stuff I needed doing

Somebody's paying this person to do this work, aren't they? Whether it's a privately funded arrangement or one from Social Services, even if it's a charity. Not turning up is not an option they're entitled to choose.

*I'm* paying for this person to do this work! At the uh, amazing rate of £11.61 an hour. Only, I won't be paying for today, that's for sure! I'll be phoning them back tomorrow to find out what exactly happened to whoever was supposed to turn up.

Thanks. I'm still just soooo unimpressed with them!

That's awful. I'd call and complain too!

I did. The office manager explained that the carer told her last week that she wouldn't be able to come back to see me as I have 2 cats and she's allergic. The office manager forgot to change the schedule, which is why no one turned up.

So that gives me lots of faith in them. Not.

Maybe they're ill, or there could have been an emergency or something- in which case, someone should call for them.

I spoke to the office manager today. The carer told her last week that she wouldn't be able to come back to see me as I have 2 cats and she's allergic. The office manager forgot to change the schedule. So that's why no one turned up. :o(
