In short, he's stressed.

If his main carer who's also family is going into surgery he's got to try to get kosher for Passover-ready meals.

Then he's got to arrange for carers to help him to get to synagogue as it's the only place he can go out safely.

Then he's nervous everyone will blame him if she doesn't go in. Then the idiot carer pipes up today about how everyone will blame him cos in her words: well he is guilt-tripping her.

    Hi @wandering_chris thanks for being a good friend.  Do they have support around them that they could lean on with these issues?  I really think they shouldn't listen to their carers harsh words, that's them showing a total lack of empathy.

    They've got 1 or 2 people at synagogue

    Ah good, I'm glad they have some people there for support. Is there anything we in the community can do to help?

    I guess what you've already done which is tell me to tell him it's not his fault, and he's got as much right to observe Passover properly as his carers have to nosh on chocolate eggs on Easter.
