Daughter has been having problems with the main staff person at her house. Staff keeps her TV on all night. She doesn't always measure Daughter's food or follow her diet. She complains to Daughter about things going on in the house, and then tells her not to tell anybody.
This afternoon Daughter called me. They were back at the house, but no one was answering the door. I texted Home Owner, but she didn't respond. I tried calling her, but she didn't pick up and her voice mail box was full. Eventually 3 buses were in front of the house waiting for someone to let the women in. They eventually decided to call police, as they couldn't wait indefinitely. Case Manager called Daughter, and Daughter told her what was going on. Case Manager got someone over there.
They went and looked in Staff's bedroom. It was empty. Apparently, she quit today without telling anyone. Daughter was quite distressed about it. "She didn't even say good by!" Once they got in, she called me, sobbing. During the crisis, she sounded fairly calm.
She continues to complain about having to be the strong one. She's the only resident with a cell phone and decent communication skills. I hope the next person hired will have a bit more sense than the last one did.

Considering what those kind of positions pay, it's surprising your daughter's home's owner can't keep the job filled.
The work is very challenging, and it garners virtually no respect. It shows how little society values the intellectually and emotionally and challenged.
I agree. According to Home Owner, she pays very well. I don't believe her.
