Fibromyalgia
Well, I am disabled and have had home care for about twenty years. I have been through many other agencies and a lot of workers and had some truly abysmal experiences. I once went through a period where my worker showed up at a different day or time, every week for six months. And I was never notified of the changes beforehand and often not even when I'd been bumped. I became disabled when I was in my early 20s and a lot of workers didn't "believe" in my disabilities (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Osteo-A are the main physical ones) so they'd outright refuse to do their jobs. I believe it was because I was younger, that the other agencies would always choose my care to be bumped in favour of other clients when something came up which happens almost every week. For the first few years, I had home care three times a week and it really was a sort of living hell, not knowing who would come - if they would come or how they would treat me. I have panic disorders and most of my time was spent triggered and wishing I could cancel the service altogether, but at the time I couldn't bathe myself, prep food or do any number of "regular" daily activities.
