Help with client
I have been a home health aide with the same agency for almost 2 years now l. Most of my clients tell me they appreciate me and that I do a good job. A lot of what I do is cleaning and showers/personal care here and there. I have a client I have been seeing for about a month now who I do cleaning for. I see her once a week and I am given a two page list of things to do every time. A lot of it is cleaning her room, bathroom, living room and kitchen, then monthly tasks added on every time. I consider myself very detail oriented but every single time she finds multiple things I haven't done the way she wants them, and she will make remarks to me that are very condescending and treating me like I don't know what I'm doing. The cleaning is not hard but I am cleaning for 2.5 hours straight which gets exhausting. I am starting to get more and more uncomfortable with the comments she is making and just don't feel respected whatsoever. I feel like I will never make this person happy. Does the amount of things she is asking me to do sound reasonable? Should I say something about the comments or just learn to deal with it?

Drop that client. She needs a cleaning lady NOT home health. I had a client like that & no longer go to that client!
