Accused of having co-worker fired

Published

As I have posted before we are making the necessary corrections for our 60 day letter. Any of you who have been through this process understands how stressful it is. For the 60 day letter we were cited in every area except financial - so you know the amount of work that has to be done. The Residence Manager has not taken a very active part in what is going on. He always appeared to be lost or on a cloud somewhere. So we are putting the POCA book together, and many of the areas that he was supposed to work on has not been addressed, especially in the physical plant area.

So last week, he had to go and pick up a discharged client from the Psy in-patient unit at the hospital. When the AMAP staff called me about medications, he had brought home the client without any discharge instructions. He had sat in the car and sent a new staff to collect the client from the unit. All that she could tell me was that they had given the client some injection to make him sleep. This was about 5.30 pm. I tried calling the hospital to get the Doctors, but only got voice mails. In frustration, I called the Area Coordinator, as I was planning to send the client back to the ER - so I had to explain to her what had occurrred. She spoke to the Residence Manager and told him to go back to the hospital and get written instructions. He went back, got the instructions, did not give a copy to the AMAP, so that she could call me. He placed the instructions on the Assistant Managers Desk, lock the office and went home. By the next morning they had asked him to resigned.

Now he is blaming me for losing his job.
