Yes! I suggested the nursing home many times. The family had no problem with it either. However, the patient was not supposed live past a week much less four years and they felt it was not best for a person at her age to die in a strange place when something as imminent as her death could occur in the comfort of her home. Had they known she would have almost made it to 100, she would have been put in a home. Also, I was told much later that a concern about acclamation to a home due to her disposition was a factor in the decision to keep her in her home.
I made mistakes about compensation, I see that. But, I did not quit because I sincerely felt responsabile for this woman. Now that she has passed, I am only trying to recoup a portion of what they never found the time to make right. No one disputes my commitment or the crazy amount of hours I worked.
I get the impression that you feel I took advantage of this situation. Not true. I never wanted the job. Wanting to be paid for hours worked, or a fraction of the hours worked does not make me a bad person, or does it?
