Dietary staff has been cut in my facility and it is SHOWING! The food is cold, the residents aren't happy and who do they complain to.. us.
"Honey this soup is ice cold. The meatloaf tastes like paper. And I didn't get any dessert."
I tell them, "Thats because I didn't cook tonight."
My main vent is that the dietician wants the TV off during dinner. So last night the TV was on and we were passing the food out. I get told by the cook, "The TV has to be turned off during dinner." The residents sitting by the TV wanted it on and you could just imagine the looks I got when I had to tell them I had to turn it off. I just don't get it. The residents sitting by the TV are perfectly capable of making their own decisions, have no issues with not eating/losing weight, and if this is their home, and everything according to the powers that be needs to be centered around them.. then there's just nothing wrong with having the TV on.
End vent.
