I had a papa pal come twice and she was good but she was not doing much but rushing through simple jobs, loafing the dishwasher and mopping the floor. I watched her and the way she was working. I have scheduled for 2 hours because I needed the work to be done probably. I was not happy I ended up reloading my dishwasher and drying up my floor because it’s was still wet after she left. That was not the worse part. She started getting comfortable on the couch and was starting to tell me about other clients she’s been to and how bad their places are and all. I was uncomfortable with that. I don’t want people to talk about other clients because that should be confidential. I reported it to papa pal’s office and asked that I do not want her to be a pal or signed up for me. I scheduled another one for 7/11, this pal called at 9:30pm Thursday night to introduced herself. No only was too late for that call but the voice in the other side of the phone was very much like much older person than both me and my husband. I politely asked her of her age, sure enough she was 73years old. That was very concerning and sad. I wasn’t going to let an older lady, sounded very tired to come and help us with housework just because I needed help either my Alzeimers husband and also I broke my shoulder and needed help. I kindly explained to her my reason why I was going to cancel the visit. I contacted papa pal and talked to them about canceling the visit. I told them please, nothing against people over 70 but I would not have anyone 70 or older as a pal especially when I specifically asked for help with light housework and transportation. They might be good for companionship but not for cleaning, To me, it’s For safety reasons, my own personal opinion.
