>>Also financial rewards probably
do help, although I was struck by the nurse's refusal of money to compensate her
for the extra time she spend with my uncle and by the refusal of money by the most
regular aide when my mother was dying. Instead the aide asked for one of my
mother's plants as a remembrance.<<

I never offered financial incentive to the nurses. The aides for the most part receive little more than minimum wage and they are the ones who literally spend the most time caring for the nursing home resident. I took note of aides that did a very good job for my mom and would send them thank you notes with cash inside. Every one expressed appreciation, while noting that it "wasn't necessary". I think that verbally expressing appreciation for the good caregivers is all that is "necessary", but I saw nothing wrong with giving money (especially if timed with the holidays or some other "event")
