Re: We are taking Olivia (mom) out of the nursing home

courage, i am sooo sorry that you have such a mess at the nursing home,

maybe when you get olivia transferred you need to contact someone in authority

that regulates nursing homes who ever that might be or even a nosy television

station taht will investigate tehmselves and go public,

BRAVO COURAGE

My Dad was in a rehab that ignored him and he came home with body lice. The

place was inspected by the authorities and now has new people running it.

Hugs to you and sissy

they better not charge you transfer fees, they deserve to pay them and not

have your mom billed for the few days she was there, if they were any sortof

caregivers this move wouldnt be necessary now would it,.

keep you chin up, we are all in your corner,

Bravo Courage:

You are absolutely doing the right thing. You shouldn't have to work

harder once your loved one is in a nh. At least, you may have to

work harder initially to get him or her used to it but what you were

saying was happening there was a gross injustice! How can that even

be happening or how can they even hope to justify waiting for a

diaper to turn orange before they really have to change it. YUCK!!!

How cruel!!

Good for you. I hope the wait for your first choice isn't too long.

Hey listen, will they still let you be on that waiting list since you

refused another one? They made an exception for my dad but that's

largely because the doctors at St. Mike's pushed social services for

us. Let me know. If all else fails, complain your head off!!!

All good things my Toronto friend,

Courage,

What a good idea. I wish I had done the same thing. Let me caution

you. Do not let her records be sent. Get them and take them yourself.

The NHs here tend to send negitive reports if they are left in the dust.

A friend of mine moved her Mom after Mom died and found the new nh had

lots of lousy info. I do not know how you could, as you have been there

such a short time. But I found out the hospital I moved Mom out of

into the nh had all sorts of junk in it.

Good luck.

Hi Sharon,

My sister did call a few places this morning and one of them (sorry can't

remember their names cause my brain is mush right now) said that they will

be making a surprise trip to this nursing home. Hopefully mom will be out

of it by then. What they do is pick 4 residents (with my mom being one of

the " random " choices " and check all their files and snoop around.

We just felt we had to so something for all the residents we are leaving

behind.

There are two women in my moms room who are nearing the end of AD and these

poor women don't get a thing to drink from 5:00 dinner till the next day at

breakfast - surely this can't be right.

My sister is a lawyer and we call her the Little General (she's short) and I

made her promise me before she wen't in to speak to administration that she

not kill anyone! Thank fully it went well and the NH isn't going to charge

us any fees for the move which if they really wanted to get nasty about they

could.

Courage,

Grrrrrr! Report them! It is places l;ike these that give good nursing

homes a Bad Rep and quite often it is just a single lazy worker that

should not be in that line of work anyway. I am so sorry you had to

have this experience it sickens me to hear such horrer stories and

yet know that there this stuff still happens in some places. I wish

you better care in the next place....Hugs...Patti

> My sister and I have decided to take mom out of the Maynard Nursing

Home. What an awful place. Our experience there has not been good

and we hope to have mom transfered to another home by the end of the

week. Mom is now 83 on the list for our first choice LTC facility so

we're hoping that this new place will be good enough to keep her

there till we get the call for the place we want.

> I can't tell you how exhausted I am. I'm there all afternoon and

evening. Yesterday I asked them for a diaper to change my mom and

they said they'd do it (a first). They came back to with " I didn't

change your mom's diaper because it's not we enough

yet " ...What!!!!!!!!!!

> I feel so much better that she's getting out of there. Mom has

been such a trooper about it all. I don't dare leave her there alone.

Hello Sharon and Courage,

They are regulated by the Division of Aging and this kind of

misconduct should not be allowed to continue to anyone. It is pure

negect and is illegal to do this sort of thing. It needs to be

brought to their attention and the matter corrected or the NH closed.

Again I am soo sorry this thing still happens and I give you a big

round of appluse for recognizing there were things not right and

acted upon it, Courage. Hugs...Patti
