I've had a lot of allegations from the caregivers who were here about tasks they were asked to do that they believed were inappropriate--i.e., snow shovelling, shoe shining, and cleaning off-site businesses. How do we assist a caregiver from not being put into those types of positions, whether it's in regard to the issue relating to the Dhalla family, or at large?
I'm sure caregivers in large part feel they almost have to do these things, or they're forced to do this work that has nothing to do with the work they agreed to do coming into the home. They're put in a position, because of the employer-employee relationship, that they fear they'll be sent home, fired, or put out on the street. How do we deal with that? From my perspective that's where this whole thing went off the rails.
