Let her family know she may be experiencing UTI's more often than not.

UTI's can muck up the brain... They need to know this... You may already know this, you expressed here that she has infection ... so it may be caused by UTI's...

MIL would go nuts... But the main reason.. you are leaving... $$$$$$

Agreed I will never have to bathe him... How long is that til? How old is he? When do the UTI's begin? How old is he? Aging is different from one to another....

Tell your current emplyer the truth: Ma is too much for me to handle at the moment. I love her very much, but my family comes first. Please have her vitals checked especially for UTI...

In retrospect, everything was always related to UTIs. I can't grasp why the issue of UTIs isn't front and center for medical personnel to communicate to caregivers &/or family!

Sometimes, things happen for a reason, and at the right time.

The lady you're taken care of is getting violent causing you to not like your job. And it just so happens that another job, a better job, presents itself to you.

I'd say, the signs are there. Make your move. How to let the current family know? You can tell them the reason for quitting is the violent behavior and that you have already accepted another offer, so there's no changing your mind, in case they want to talk you out of it.

Congratulations and good luck.

Gr8fuel, even though they were paying you, a great caregiver like you is hard to find and keep. As an employer, it is never easy to lose a great employee (and yes, they do become like family after a while) and often you feel like you'll never be able to replace them, but guess what? We usually do. This is not to lessen the value of what you've brought to their situation, but just to say do not fret, they will be fine after you move onward and upward. In fact, your leaving may be the catalyst necessary for the lady to get the proper placement and care. Wishing you all the best!

You need to put your resignation in writing. I would not list all the reasons you shared here.

You should address the increase in your client's needs as a separate letter and do it as a courtesy because you are not aware if they understand how things have progressed.

You don't need an excuse to leave a job that makes you feel like you do. I am done as of 2 weeks is sufficient. Obviously with courtesy and diplomacy.

It's a very good idea to make them separate letters, so that the family can use the information about your client separately from the fact that you have resigned for financial and timing \ reasons. It's more appropriate and more helpful for them.

You no longer love the job and it's time to leave, before you hate the job. Do you work for the husband? Who pays you? Whoever makes sure you're paid is the person to whom I would write a short letter along the lines of: "It has been my great pleasure caring for Mr. and Mrs. Little Couple since 2015. It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that my last day of work will be February 15, 2020. I have accepted a position that will enable me to spend more time with my family. I wish you all the best."

You feel bad for leaving because you've given a lot to these people. But, it's just a job and you must do what's best for you.

I understand how you feel....however, with the violence that sounds like its becoming more frequent, you need to do whats best for YOU. Less hours and more money, if its a good assignment, then take it. Otherwise, maybe you should speak with this lady’s family about her actions, may be time for a facility for her.
