My uncle (father's older brother, he is 61 years old) has been living at one of the houses he owns (the house I grew up in, my parents have since purchased their "dream home" on an acre wooded lot about 10 minutes from the old house) with 2 of my brothers (ages 25 and 21) r/t the fact that he has epilepsy and can no longer live on his own. Well there's a family history of Alzheimer's and he has started to wander around the neighborhood and was picked up by the police. My brothers are not at the house all the time to watch him (one works, the other is a Senior in college) and they need someone at the house to make sure he doesn't wander, eats regularly, takes his meds, and generally does what he is supposed to as far as ADL's go. He is still capable of performing ADL's himself, just needs to be reminded. My brother's can't (and aren't that willing) to make sure all this happens, so my father approached me about coming over to the house during the week to make sure all these things get done. I am a SN, about to start my second year of NS. Dad is willing to pay me. I know that mixing family and money is not always a good idea, but I'm unemployed and frankly need the money. So is this something you guys would do, or do you think I should tell him no?
