Need advice - should I work in a care home that deals with behavioral patients?

hi all,

badly need advice as i’ve gotten a job offer from a care home/supported living that deals with behavioral patients. basically, i only have to care for 1 patient/day or sometimes there’s two carers for 1 patient. however, i could be assigned randomly to difficult patients such as ones with behavioral issues that ranges from ones that spits on you, eats something they shouldn’t, hit you (unintentionally), etc.

pay is good, as well as the hours, it’s really just the type of patients that ill care for that makes me second-guess the job.

thank you in advance!
