For the past couple of weeks, I've largely had aides I've been comfortable with, and the more I've worked with these same few aides, the easier things have become. By getting to know these few and how they approach the work, I can anticipate how things are going to go, and it allows me to plan ahead. I'm a planner. The aides also get more relaxed with me the more they work with me.
This period won't last, of course. Staff comes and goes in big places like this. In my own home, working with a home healthcare agency that has a low turnover rate among its aides, hopefully such calm, stable times would be the rule.
