The more qualified and experienced you are, the more brazen and uncooperative you will tend to become.
When multiple people take care of one CLIENT, one care giver will impose his/her own rules on the other care givers by acting like a boss.
When multiple people take care of a client, one care giver takes care of the client for a long time and the other care givers are swamped by that person and don't last long, so they switch places. As others have responded, the temp agency office can be just about amazing. There are definitely quite a few people who feel that the office doesn't do their job well and uses the care givers for good.

How should we deal with elderly people who are unable to eat? They have no desire at all to eat and are having a hard time.
As a postscript, he will only eat a bite or two, even if it is his favorite food, and not because the food I make is not good.
I am very concerned because I cannot even finish something like Ensure.

I'm sorry you are worried. I'm sure you've already tried many things,
but I'm sure you'll take the advice of your family and your doctor and try to increase the number of portions, add more colors,
make jellies, purees, and whatever else you can think of that you want to eat.
And, there are many times when it doesn't work, even if you try to use different dishes, eat together, and so on, because you can't force them to go ahead
and it seems that even we become anorexic, you know...

Bad teeth, dentures that don't fit, difficulty swallowing, any chronic illness, likes and dislikes, no longer willing to do so,
If the weight is too low, you can report it to your family or doctor ？
. （ If you are working through an agent, I think you need to report this to the company. ）

I am grateful that there are people like Kana
who take good care of their clients. Please do your best so that your mind and body will not be broken.

I also had someone who thought he was the boss. I don't know him, but he has all sorts of orders in his notebook. He even controls how the refrigerator is filled.

I also devised this and that to serve those with small appetites. It was more meaningful to think about the client than the internal mess and the disputes among care givers.
But it was depressing, so I quit. The hourly rate was cheap for the work, and there was no compensation or benefits. The manager was very amiable, but a harsh person. The care givers are just used like pawns for good.

Thanks for the advice.

I tried a lot, but she still wouldn't eat it...
She is very old and lives alone, and her relatives are far away and rarely visit her.
Perhaps due to the environment or her age, she has no desire for food or anything else, and it pains me every time I visit her.

We have reported this to the agent, but he has simply told us that she should be able to eat.
I hear that other care givers are also having a hard time and it breaks my heart.
I am beginning to think that there are other care givers who can take care of her better than I can, and recently I am beginning to think about getting out of this cliant's care.

I was really pleased with the advice and words from Nyantaro. Anyway, I will try my best this week first.
