Why aren’t people reviewing Nursing homes? We all must have parents, or grandparents that live in them. Why do we have to search for medical or doctor’s and or care facility reviews and ratings? Or stupidly pay health grades? Dumb. Is it that immune to critique? Hum, I am dosing away a star to Walker today– not because of the direct care–(the people who really take care of people – ) but because I am so bugged by their paper pushers Administrative staff. Not because of their awesome pastoral staff, and not because of their mostly awesome nurses and NAR’s, but because there are high paid people that work there pushing paper, pushing folders, files– that walk by residents in need. I am in shock on such a hot day when it’s so obvious the weather is affecting folks on the dementia unit, and they are all dehydrated and thirsty, and the NAR’s(for those that don’t know I think it stands for Nurses Assistant Registered) are multi-tasking, helping 3−4−5 people at a time, and a higher paid lazy bureaucrat paper pusher walks by and won’t lift a finger to help any of the dementia unit people get a glass of water. 90% of the residents whos MA(MA does mean alot of their social security checks go 100% to MA to pay a long term care facility) can’t even reach for a glass of water themselves. So much for humanity, so much for losing touch with who is the reason you even have your job – stup’ paper pusher. Small — gifts of giving that matter– are the real staff, the lower paid, real workers– the RN’s and NAR’s that take the time to help people that really need help.
