Not sure what to make of this

The reenablement worker who came in today was chatty and friendly , but there were a couple of things that seemed a bit iffy to me. That could be an age related reaction on my part though. Firstly telling me my t shirt makes me look sexy. Secondly as he was about to leave rubbing my back.

Why are you afraid of

It wasn’t about being afraid.

That does seem a little strange. Maybe they’re just trying to put you at ease?

Told my s/dau who works as the local branch manager of a home care agency about it. She said it was inappropriate…

She phoned to be told that he’s just a really friendly guy and people misinterpret these things. That’s when my s/dau said she mentioned ‘safeguarding’ and asked to talk to the manager when he/she is next in.

She said also said to me it’s inappropriate re the vulnerability of clients.

It’s totally inappropriate and unacceptable. I’d ask for a different caregiver

The way things are there’s no continuity re who sees you.

I wouldn’t tolerate that, him rubbing my back after telling me I looked sexy. Definitely inappropriate behavior.

I agree that he acted totally inappropriately towards you. If he turns up another time, maybe turn him away, and let the agency know in advance that you intend to do this. You shouldn’t have to work with someone who touched you inappropriately and called you sexy.

That is super inappropriate and SHOULD lead to him being fired. Unfortunately, many agencies have a “protect our own” mentality and try to sweep that behavior under the rug. You were right to call your stepdaughter and she was right to report it. You are within your rights to refuse to allow him back in your home.
