How would u

[mnichols4]

How would you feel if you was in a store an saw a caregiver with her patient,an she starts yelling an screaming at them in front of you what would you do?

[potluck6]

Shake my head at the patient and give the so called care giver a dirty look.

[hitch0403]

Remind them an answer when mild turns away rage.

[vickysue]

Ask what the problem is and  try to get a look at the cargivers name badge and turn them in. there is not good reason to  scream at a sick person.

[lmrbean]

I would ask if there was something I could do to help.

[haimsterette]

I would tell the caregiver that there is no reason to act in such a way, ask if I could be of assistance, and try to comfort the patient if they were upset by the situation. I would also try to report it somewhere in case there was any kind of abuse going on, too. 

[tantricia44]

I'd intervene & try to calm down the situation or call store manager for help.

[JaniceSW]

I'd have to write down the caregiver's name and organization they work for if they had a badge on and report him/her.  If not, I'd have to remind the caregiver of their role with the patient and that there are more appropriate ways to handle the situation.  I would definitely try to make some suggestions. Maybe doing this in front of other people in the store would bring some embarrassment to the caregiver involved and suggestions for handling the situation. I would keep my mood and tone calm.  If the patient did not appear to have a cognitive issue, I would also tell them that they should report the caregiver and/or ask for another one.

[Nancy5]

I would ask if I could help the situation.  I would get the caregivers name and agency and report them.  If the patient was verbal I would ask if they were ok and needed help.  I would look closely for any marks, bruising anything on the patients face, arms, etc.  if the person was non verbal I would demand to see the badge of the caregiver.  If refused I would call the police.  This is elder abuse!  Verbal or physical, abuse is abuse.

[debidoo]

Be upset and angry.  Try to figure out something to do for them.  God that is so awful and unfair what people have to go though with those who are supposed to care for them.  As an older person who has health issues that really disturbs and makes me apprehensive.

[bretay]

not a good thing to think about...i would either call the police or the place that the caregiver works at

[michele2042]

I would try my best to stay calm and ask the caregiver is there is anything I can do to help her/him.  I would say "it appears you're a bit stressed, how can I help you?"   I would then talk to the person being cared for in a loving manner trying to reassure them I am there to help.   Like others I would attempt to get the caregivers name and who they worked for, without raising suspicion.   I would try to stay until I felt the situation was under control, if I was not comfortable leaving them I may try to follow them without being notice.   

[dsosnowski06]

See if I could help in some way and it the caregiver gets angry then try find a worker preferably a manager to try and handle the situation

[dreamyxo]

To be honest I wouldn't do anything.  I'm not one to get in peoples business.  If it was getting physical I'd call the police.  Other than that I'd stay out of it. People are crazy you don't know what might happen if you try to intervene.  They might turn around and start attacking me.

[sbenkoski]

I'd be very angry, but most times you try and help and you get told off and your told to mind your own business!
