People don’t want to put their loved ones in nursing homes, but they can’t take care of them. That’s what nursing homes

Families should be able to have a body cam at all times . To know what’s going on at all times 😞

its up to family to care for elderly. i understand needing to admit to a nursing home, we had to with my mom due to her paralysis, but you need to visit daily and check that theyre getting the care they need. its not a drop off and forget situation

Everybody can't physically care for a person all day. People have to work to pay bills.

Sandra Donahue you took the words right outta my mouth. Knowing this is a crap place to store yr family and after yr family member dies you then wanna see change...no thank you. If she was loved so much she would have been kept at home with help coming in if it's required. Or do research and find the best nursing homes in your area. I'm not trying to be mean but I work with the elderly and family never complains until it's too late. Yr loved ones need to be checked on multiple times of the day..install cameras..talk regularly to the staff (not just nurses..but the actual caretakers). Be active..they're vulnerable and need you. And for the families that drop off and never come visit bc it's too hard for you....they suffer more bc no one cares to come and they're very much neglected.

I’ve worked in health care for 15 yrs and I’ve seen some horrible shit. Families that drop off their loved ones and never come back, families that come twice a year (birthday and Christmas) and families that show up every month to con money out of mom or dad because the pension check came in or some other kind of monthly money has come in. The patient is usually so happy to see someone from their family that they give them whatever they want. People that are so sad and lonely because their families have forgotten about them that they basically just stop thriving and give up on life and go down hill at an alarming rate. But as soon as they die the very next day the family is there arguing over the belongings and money. Some of the things I’ve seen family members do or say is appalling. I understand that not everyone can care for a loved one at home but then make sure that you are regularly visiting and checking up on them. Spend some QUALITY time with them not 10 minutes on your way home once every couple weeks.

Gracem2013 I've seen the exact same things..so they become my family. I may not be blood but I'd always be there and by the way I would be treated I know I was loved back.

Miranda Baxter I hear you. I’ve lost count over the years of all the different patients I’ve brought stuff for. Warm socks, sweaters , toiletries of every kind, perfume & body sprays, snacks because they were hungry and had nothing in their rooms to snack on. I used to buy dozens of body washes for patients as they never had anything to wash with. Just blows my mind people leave their loved ones in that state. I would be so ashamed if I knew my mom or dad didn’t even have basic toiletries or warm clothes and a staff member was providing it. Unfortunately most families don’t bother to come at all or if they do they either don’t care or are too stupid to notice their mom or dad needing basic items. After 15 yrs and extreme burnout I left about a year and a half ago. Still not ready to go back. Might not ever be. I just can’t deal with it anymore. I miss my patients but I just couldn’t do it anymore.

Gracem2013 I'm sorry to hear that..I left in August. I started off with doing the med passes at meals and during the 4 years at a particular building I couldn't handle their bullying..lack of care for the people who pay thousands of dollars a month for better care then they receive. My final straw was when they had an untrained worker training another worker. My complaints went unanswered and I couldn't be around when meds were messed up and they kill someone. The company I worked for did a lot of wrongs and didn't are that this is a living being they are being trusted with...I do want to get back into it. They made me the happiest I've ever been besides my children and I miss it so much. This field needs more people like us and I hope one day you can do it again.
