question for care takers for elerdly people

Well let me tell you as care giver that person would called out of that,and we would go out side a way from the elderly,and they would get a good dose of what it is like to be treated like that and then i would see that they were fired on the spot,i dont approve of that kind of behavior,from any one.

I am not good with confrontations and would probably be upset that this was going on but wouldn't actually do anything because I would not know the person that was being treated harshly . I would be quick to go and report this person if someone else was with me thought . As this person who is being spoken to harshly has someone out there who would be very upset to know that the person they loved was not getting the proper care .

I have to talk to the staff, and tell her that the reason why she is here and that she is being paid for for the patience and care for her clients. It is unreasonable to lose patience and to say harsh things to the elderly, since that is her duty so. Have you encountered such? Did you tell the management?

hi mattcassethan I would take this staff member aside, and tell her that you do not treat elderly patients like this 'ever no matter what. If you cannot do that , you should] look for a different job. then I would go to the administrator and tell him or her about this unkind staff member. I would not just turn my back on this at all. I am an elderly person and I would never let anyone mistreat me that way. We are'human beings and not cattle just because we are elderly.

There is a system failure at the government level friend, you and I can not help it out, it is working , it will work and it would not stop you and I would go from this world and the things would remaain the same as it is. If the god granted you an other life here on return you will find the things intact as you have left when you go.

I would not say anything it would not ber my buisness and maybe the person did something wrong and that is why she was being yelled at . It would not be my buisness to get inot something if I was not asked for hekp . I wold just do what i went tehre to do and then leave .

I would suggest you do two, or perhaps three things. First, write yourself a note with all the details. Date, time, circumstance, resident, staff. Why were you going to the room?, secondly, you speak to your supervisor. You are a mandatory reporter if you work in a nursing home. If that supervisor ignores you, go to Social Services, which may be a social services designee, or it may be a licensed social worker. If you give up your personal notes, only give up copies of them. KEEP THE ORIGINAL. You have an option, if nothing is done in house, to report it to an Ombudsmen. There should be a number posted in plain sight of the residents for both the Ombudsmen, and the state licensing authority. Report it to both if need be. If the resident is cognizant and can speak for themselves, advise them to speak to the DON and to Social Services, before you approach the ombudsman or state survey team. In some states you would contact Department of Human Services, or Social and Rehabilitation Services. Probably, I should back up and say, it is good to let the victim know you heard, and that you are supportive of them.

I would go over and say somethign to them that is not right and they dont' need to treat people like that if they have soemthign to say they can say it in private and not loudly so everybody in there can hear them . I woudl go talk to the management or somethign and try to get them fired .

I have seen this and I have said soemthing . There is no need of this if something needs to be said it needs to be said in private not for evryone to hear and I tell them that . That will only make someone feel uncomfortaable and not want to be there .

[i][/i]Hi matt, I may not personally butt in but I will report such treatment to the administration so that they can take action about this, I know it's not easy to handle different people but it is their job and they have to be sensitive to these people's feelings as well as respect them.. I will hate to see such incident!

When this happened to my grandmother, my aunt grabbed the CNA by the scruff of her neck & shoved her out of the room yelling for her to NEVER enter the room again. Then she went to the Administrator & reported her. The girl was fired. She was slapping my Grandmother....NOT acceptable!!! With my Mom in a nursing home now, she had one girl treating her worse than a dog. However, she never hit her that I saw. I went to the board of Admin & registered a complaint. She has not been fired yet. But it has been noted in her file!!! If she gets reported again, her job will be in jeopardy!!! She goes overboard to be polite now.
