[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who spent a lot of time visiting and volunteering, they definitely do everything on their sweet time schedule and they cover for each other with little lies.

They will also leave someone at "shift change" and not help them to the bathroom because they don't care if they wet the bed for the next person. And it just gets paid forward like that.

I think that it's a very hard job and low-paying and the workers sometimes forget how undignified it is for these other adults, some who did crazy things like judges, scientists, groundbreaking things for their time. [/quote]

What a shame that you haven't been exposed to quality facilities.[/quote]
You're kidding yourself if you think abuse and neglect don't occur at expensive, "high quality" facilities. It can happen anywhere. Elders, especially when they are very infirm or have dementia are very vulnerable. It's so important to figure out a plan to have frequent visitors. When the staff knows that visitors can pop up anytime, your loved one is more likely to be safe.

As far as OP, a care manager seems to be the answer, but I would strongly encourage OP to arrange other visitors as well.[/quote]
