It has been almost a year since I requested services for my mother, who lives alone, from a Japanese caregiver company called H Service.
I am no longer convinced that the cost of the service is worth the several thousand dollars per month that the office charges (frequent subs ） and the care giver's work (my mother says he is always looking at his cell phone, is late, etc.).
I am thinking of looking for a private care giver instead of going through a company, but I would appreciate your advice on the advantages and disadvantages of getting services from a company or from a private care giver.

Some people say we should use AI for everything, but it is very difficult to use AI for interpersonal jobs.
It is even more difficult for jobs like nursing care, which requires emotional and resourcefulness.
Physical tasks such as lifting can be handled, but mental care is difficult.

Some actually have evaluation systems in place, but honestly, they are kind of a non-starter.
Many people don't know about it, but it is meaningless in that way.

The right to choose and refuse is certain. The customer is not God. As someone else wrote, it's not the same to ask others to provide the kind of care that your relatives do. I think we need to have them do the parts of life that are really necessary, such as helping with toileting and bathing, but talking to them is a bit more subtle. Exercise is just about as good as I can do. If you want someone to talk to who is not a relative, what is the topic? I think.

Old people just want to be listened to and sympathized with.
Yes, it's tough. I understand. It's hard, isn't it?
I understand. I'll be there for you.
Even if it's only for a few minutes, I listen to them every day.
I heard that just by doing that, you can save your life. If it's your job, you can do that much.

> I'll listen to you every day, even if it's only for a few minutes and say yes.

So there you have it.
I've never heard of a care giver position for a few minutes.
Anyone can usually listen to you for a few minutes.
I mean, it's hours, so I'm not sure.
I know a care giver who spends a lot of time every day listening to elderly people complaining about their families.
In short, the dissatisfaction with their family members is passing to the care givers.
So I think the family should do as much as possible to talk to them and that sort of thing.

you complain even if they are not your caregivers
you want to talk to them if they are there
they don't want answers
they just want to be listened to

you take care of them for a long time.
you're not going home after you've done your job ？
if you have nothing to do and you're buying time, it's not your job to talk to people ？
if you don't like it, quit.
