CASE 1. The caregiver complains that it's hard whenever he sees it
Most caregivers know that their carers feel grateful and sorry for them. However, there are definitely caregivers who complain to abuse that mind. Of course, if the difficulty of work increases, such complaints can be said, but it is a trick to raise nursing costs to continue to complain about "I couldn't sleep because of the patient tossing and turning all night."
Think it'll be hard to take care of once or twice and ignore it. However, if you complain repeatedly to the point of discomfort, you can sternly call a doctor or nurse to see if the patient's condition got worse and if there were any other problems, you can sleep all night. Nevertheless, if you continue to make your caregiver or patient uncomfortable, consider replacing your caregiver.
CASE 2. I want to tell my caregiver to take care of me more meticulously, but I can't help but notice
No caregiver takes care of the patient with a family-like mind. There are also few caregivers who want their patients to be in better shape. The reason is that the better the patient is, the less the caregiver tries to cut the cost of care.
I took care of a patient who was sick with
for 120,000 won a day, but if his condition improves and he gets better enough to walk and eat on his own, the nursing cost drops to about 80,000 won. Therefore, it is “appropriateness” that spreads to caregivers. Please understand the caregiver’s psychology to some extent and deal with it so that it does not harm the patient.
It's a good way to induce correction rather than direct criticism or dissatisfaction. When you visit, you can smell it while touching your palm, check your diapers, etc., and if it's not clean, you can wipe it yourself at the caregiver's desk.
CASE 3. She keeps asking for cash for her nursing expenses
#49 If you’re a caregiver who’s only asking for toxic cash, suspect it at least once. This is because we want to pay cash in a way that does not leave a record in order not to be responsible for any accidents that may occur while caring. It is best to ask the Caregivers Association for an account transferable caregiver from the first time you find a caregiver.

CASE 4. I'm asking for double the daily wage on holidays, is that right?
Assuming that
nursing expenses are 100,000 won per day, there are times when the caregiver asks for double the money because he/she will take care of you even on holidays. If the caregiver’s holiday is unpaid, you can pay 100,000 won as usual, and if it is a paid holiday, you can pay 100,000 won for paid holidays and 100,000 won for alternative nursing expenses, a total of 200,000 won.
However, there are often caregivers who trick their guardians who do not know their menstruation and demand 100,000 won for paid holidays and 200,000 won for nursing care, or 300,000 won in total. Please refuse coldly and think about replacing a caregiver.
CASE 5. She's got a pressure ulcer she didn't have
Problems arise when you only believe in caregivers and don't look into patients often. If you are a guardian with a caregiver next to the patient, a random check is essential. When visiting patients, it is also necessary to check the cleanliness and say, "I came here a few times because I was worried about it before, but I didn't come in because I thought the caregiver would be uncomfortable if I came often." And tell them when you'll be back and visit them before you do.
In fact, bedsores are a disease that occurs when a family member is a little careless, so you can't blame the caregiver, but if you find a bedsore that didn't exist, you should immediately call a doctor or nurse to check how many bedsores it is and come up with another alternative.
The caveat here is that you should not ask patients or caregivers in the same room about our caregivers. The hospital is also a talkative place, so you don't know how the word will fit into the caregiver's ear.
CASE 6. I want to change caregivers, what should I say?
If you decide to replace the
caregiver, it is better for the patient to finish well. I don’t like what I did wrong, so I’ll change it Rather than saying it, say it in a roundabout way, ‘You have to take care of your family because of the financial burden.’ Most caregivers go to hospitals in the same area, so they are close to each other, so they don’t know what will be said, and the guardian also doesn’t know where to meet the same caregiver.
After sending a caregiver like that, I tried to take care of my family in the hospital room, but it was so hard that I couldn't. You can say 'I'll have to use a caregiver again' and then hire another caregiver.
