That's not what I had in mind

Published

Specializes in LTC, hospital setting.

The facility I work at is under new ownership. But the cattiness of the staff(most are pleasant to begin with) is down right ugggh. And a resident, who is now hospice due to brain cancer, was groping the aide every time she gave care(and management did nothing prior to resident getting the hospice diagnosis, and she told resident it's inappropriate more than once and she had enough yesterday she refused to go in to give care because of it). And one of my trainers and our administrator got into an argument over lack of hoyer slings and not getting a female resident out of bed due to lack of said slings my first day on the floor. Sigh. I thought this was a nice facility and would be a change of pace for me. Is it that bad or is it 50/50?

Hi there!

I see this post is from February, but going forward, please report incidents like this to the department of public health.  The fact that the CNA refused to provide care is neglect.  It's also very concerning another resident had to remain in bed due to a lack of hoyer slings.  This is NOT okay.  You can report these incidents anonymously (if you choose) online or by phone.  Please do your due diligence as a mandated reporter if you see incidents like this again.
