[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 571265, member: 1233"] I do think that you need to go look at some other facilities, Terry. This one doesn't seem to give a hoot. You should NEVER have to worry about her running out of medications, or not being given appropriate care. You have had that problem a LOT, not just with this cat bite. The cat bite should have been monitored more than just having the dressing changed once a day and then staff would have caught it before it got so bad. If WE know that the elderly can go from fine to seriously ill in a matter of a day, then the staff dealing with the elderly every day should know it also. You have had to push far too hard and far to often for P's basic needs to be appropriately cared for, and in my opinion this place just doesn't care if she lives or dies as long as they get paid. I cannot fathom paying what an assisted living facility costs and having a box lunch like that for Christmas. My gma's ALF had a wonderful meal on Christmas Eve with all the trimmings. On the day they had a special breakfast, a nice cold buffet lunch, and dinner was something the residents voted on - usually a choice between Italian or Chinese that were either made by staff ahead of time or (esp when they chose Chinese) was brought in from a restaurant and supplemented with salad, vegges, fruit and several nice desserts. Patients who were not able to get to the dining room had meals taken to them and there were activities all day for those with no relatives to spend the day with. I know the move would be a real hassle, but it might save you these endless battles and problems. If you cannot move her, would you consder being on that panel that decides the menus? probably a PITA, but you might make a real difference to the residents. [/QUOTE]
