Checking on carers

Published: 4 June 2010

• I AM writing about the agencies which employ carers.

I don’t think the agencies check on the carers, who seem to come and go when they like. Some of them only do 15 or 20 minutes.

Often they can’t do the cooking and they are not supposed to do this or that.

Some carers are always late, so they don’t have to do anything as it already has been done by the  clients, who are old and frail and risk an accident or fall.

I am a volunteer who works for old people living on their own.
