This is something you should only say if you're serious. And when the caregiver asks if you can stay with mom next Tuesday, don't answer: Jeez, that's my tennis game. To say this can be extremely hurtful to the person caring for a patient in Home Care in Aurora IL. It means that either you think that the caregiver is not as convinced of your loved one's condition as you are, or that you recognize the caregiver's challenges and simply don't you care. It's best to say something like: “It's hard for me to see your loved one this way, but I'm trying to overcome it so I can visit and support you.
Recognize that not visiting you is a personal problem that you are trying to overcome.
