Nobody wants to be in a nursing home or does any caring family want their loved one in a nursing home. We had ot choice when Ted was released from hospital. I wanted a different home, but this one was the only one with space. AS it turns out, it has worked out well. ALL staff is kind and caring and responsive. Yes, they can't appear instantly upon ringing the bell. But theyd do the best they can. and they remain cheerful. One man across the hall makes me so angry ... he won't ring bell, calls out for help and if CNA is working with Ted, wants her (or him) to stop and go to him. ONe night as they were coming around with treats, he wanted more of something. Nurse (and it was the prescription nurse) said, after I see that the other patients have some I'll come back. He replied "I don't care about them". She was so upset because he didn't care about the other patients and she did, but she remained reasonably polite while I wanted to tell him off. When I figure out a nice and/or productive way to do it , I will. I nag him about pushing the button and idt does happen sometimes now. ALso in the dining room another "gentlemen", said "Hey, girl, you were supposed tot ake me back. He treated her like dirt and she is pleasant and works hard.
