Bad disgusting experience hiring a Home Nurse. Challenges for NRI Kids and old age parents

Recently I had an issue with a home nurse we had hired via an agency in Thrissur .

My father underwent a critical surgery and spend 1 month in ICU . After his discharge my sister and I who r both outside the country had to return back due to our jobs and family . My dad was to spend next 3 months in bed and he would require a home nurse to tend to his hygiene and other needs.

WE found one agency supplying Home nurses and i had a discussion with them about hiring a male nurse as my Dads a bit hefty and need strong hands to shift him around. They charged us INR 20,000 upfront and we agreed as we thought if we pay higher we will get some proper service.

The male who turned up had little of no knowledge about basic nursing or home care. He spend time outside reading , eating and watching TV . ONce my mom had asked him to change and wash my dad's soiled clothes he refused saying thats not his job and to put that in the washing machine . Also he was rude to my mom . After a couple of days he asked for a leave saying that he has to go to aluva court . When questioned why he is saying he was involved in some stabbing case and he has to attend the hearing . WTF !! I called up the agency and blasted them for sending a person with such a dubious background in a home where there are only aged ppl . I asked them what kind of a background check they did and the agency had the audacity to tell me thats not their job . Anyways i was insistent on a replacement and they sent a rickshaw driver next day who was clueless .I called up that agency to send someone decent or return my balance money . They refused saying money once paid cannot be refunded .that agency lady stopped answering my calls and for 2 days there was no one to tend to .

I left a review on google stating my frustration and within minutes that agency lady called me to threaten an abuse and said she will even drag my bedridden father to court . She said she is supplying home nurses to the collectors house and she can do things ......BY that time i lost it and i tore her apart , not only did she not do her job after taking money she had the arrogance to threaten me about implicating my bed ridden father !!!!!!

I fired her left right and center and told her we will meet in court in that case and i said i will make sure her dubious agency is closed down and also she is behind bars . After an hour she called me apparently weeping saying that karma will get me and that God is watching . I said he was also watching when u threatened to drag me and my dad to court for a review , I told her clearly i know her legal standing is thin and i know i m within my rights to leave a review for s eervice i paid for .

She begged and pleaded to take it down and i told firmly it will stay there until she refunds my balance money or send a sensible nurse. Next day they send a proper home nurse who stayed with us for 2 months and was completely professional and we have him a bonus for sincerity when he left.

I think its high time considering the high influx of NRI's there should be some regulatory authority for home nurses to do a proper vetting , background checking and also some accountability to the money we pay. Also wanted to know anyone who has faced similar experiences with home nurses tending to parents whose kids are not near ...

I am not from Kerala and I need your help/insights regarding this.

I am from Haryana. Via Keam counciling I got Dr Moopens' Medical college. Now I know Wayanad is a hill station and overall less developed than rest of Kerala.

I need your personal opinions on Wayanad and the college if you know about it. Please be honest and tell me what the common opinion is either it's good or bad.


And also if you know anyone from that college it would be huge help if I could contact them. Thank you:)

What is the etymology of Vaazha?

So I was watching this movie "VAAZHA" and the literal translation is "good for nothing".

Why is it so, I get it that it can't be used for wood and all, but the fruit, the flower, the stem..all are uesd in our food.

So why has it been called useless tree or used to insinuate that a person in useless (aka vaazha)??

Kerala's gross enrolment ratio in higher education is 42 % (data attached). Just out of curiosity, what about the rest 58%, what do they do moving forward? Offcourse not everyone wants to go to University, but 58% is quite a big number.
