Can People Please HELP!
Well, My fiance and I work in an Adult Foster Care Home. We just accepted a resident who has Alzheimers/Dementia. We were concerned that we did not have the correct training to be giving cares to this resident, so I called DHS and asked. The dhs person said that we have to have specialized training in Dementia care, but our boss aka the Owner, says that we do not need any other training.
We are concerned that the House will get shut down and we will lose our jobs, and also that I could never be able to open a residential care home of my own.
What should be done?
We have asked the owner to call DHS and ask about our concern and our findings, but she refuses to do it.
We have called our parents to see what we should do, and they said to look for new jobs.. which we have only had this job for 3 weeks.
