[quote=Anonymous]I am an OT, I work in a hospital. Snfs are notorious for being understaffed because they are extremely difficult working conditions. Therapists have to see up to 10-12 patients in an 8 hour work day and have to document and discuss w co workers. And nurses have way too many patients assigned. Just giving you perspective so these employees aren’t coming across as lazy or uncaring if they don’t spend a ton of time with your loved on. Burn out levels are high. But if you can’t provide the assistance needed for transfers and daily activities, they need to be in a facility. I find many family members underestimate how much strength it will take to get their loved ones out of bed, to a toilet, dress them, etc. a hip fx is very high risk of falling again if not monitored and assisted [/quote]
