[QUOTE="Andy, post: 409726, member: 5096"] (((((HUGS))))) Can you ask to talk to a charge nurse? At our facility, this is the person in charge of the activities of the facility when other supervisors are not around. This person should be informed and knowledgeable of each patient's behaviors and diagnoses. If that person is unable to give you information, they should be able to give you a name of the person you can call Monday morning. I remember when my difficult child was at the psychiatric hospital, it was the case manager type person that I went to get information. I viewed her as our liason between us and the treatment team. I am surprised that your difficult child is being allowed to have a meltdown on the phone with you. We were told that if difficult child started that behavior then the phone would be taken away. He would not be allowed to call unless he was able to be calm and polite and not beg to be released. My heart is sad with you. It does sound by her accounts that things are a bit easier for her? I hope so. Keep insisting that you get to talk to someone who can answer your questions. Then when you get hold of that person, demand a schedule of updates - daily, every other day, ect. so you know when you will get one. I would hope that no news might be good news. They shouldn't be able to tighten her treatment plan (or give certain medications, even PRN) without your input. If you can be assured of that, it may make this a bit easier also. [/QUOTE]
