- Living well with dementia in Herefordshire - strategy - carer included 48 times
- Hereford Memory Clinic Service is criticised on the page
- What it is not doing is highlighted here

Finding chapter and verse on age-related interaction is difficult. Although dementia is not sigificant within this specific situation, you may have some leads, please.
I can send a link to a full, hidden description of the situation.

1
We changed companies recently and stepped up the visits. Now twice a day. The previous company arrived once on weekdays and there were four carers. With fourteen visits a week now, we see up to eight carers.
2
The duties need clarity. They are on the back of the kitchen door. They include a Teresa pic. They are on large (A1) paper.
3
Teresa averages seven trips to A&E pa. My average is three. The duties sheet is a vital part of the family Plan B.
4
The sad aspect of the list is that it is necessary to point out basics such as hanging wet dish cloths up and emptying the washing up bowl before leaving. Although not listed, five of the eight carers did not straighten the bottom sheet when making the bed until I requested it should be done. It is pointless informing the company. That only produces stress.
5
Has any work been carried out on the duties of domestic care workers in private homes?
Homecare and Live-in Care Worker job description here
source shows nothing of use - ditto the foot-of-page links.
scholarly articles - is this the best? or this? source
the best via Google Scholar here?
6
Although twenty mins looking reveals nothing of use, surely something has been done to produce near-specific JDs for unpaid/informal carers within various ailment situations.
