Mom is currently in rehab and because we had an arguement and I raised my voice I am now under attack by the social workers at this NH. Mom and I have been arguing for 55 yrs and since she is hard of hearing I have conditioned myself to talk loudly around her. These social workers have now spoken to my Mother about a guardianship and are fully prepared to kick me to the curb after 15 yrs of loyal service.
"One or Two" experiences is one or two too many, and is good to know that there are Social Workers like yourself out there who recognize this and are in the unique and much needed position to spot such abuses and to act with all the force needed to stop it and to report it and to follow through on making sure those who abuse their authority and position suffer the consequences of their attempts to exploit the trust given to them by those in need.
I'm sure there must be an official agency in your state where you can submit your concerns so that this can be stopped from victimizing others.
Stay Strong.
Obviously, the more problems they "find", the more job security they have, but someone needs to remind them every now and then that they are dealing with the most important aspects of both the elder and the caregiver's lives.
