My husband's friend stopped by to see him yesterday and found him in good spirits. When I spoke to my hubby last night, he said that someone actually responded to his call light in an hour. Usually it's 2-3x longer.
I will get on the phone again this morning to see if the Social Worker called the Admissions Director at the new rehab facility. I will also complain to the head honcho about the length of time it takes for the nurses to respond to the call lights. AND I have to call the step/railing guy since he never called me with an estimate. Sigh.
Thank you for your continued support, prayers and thoughts.

Oh my gosh, only one hour to answer the call light! Are those nurses crazy, lazy, or out to lunch?

@kobesbuddy A lot of what they have to do is undesirable; so they tend to ignore the call lights.

He never called back. I guess he doesn't want my business.

That is very unprofessional to not call back a potential customer.
Taking an hour to respond to a call light is still bad. What if something is really wrong and needs to be addressed right away?

@LindaOHio why does it take them so long to respond?

If you're having a heart attack or something, you're out of luck.

@lovebuglena Because they're lazy and really don't want to do the things they are expected to do.

People do not realize how much work it is being the "support person" like you are. I am glad your husband's friend visited and could give you a report.

He may not really want to do the job, If you have to chase him just to do an estimate what is he going to be like on the real job? I think I would move on. Glad hubby is in good spirits.

@snowy22315 It's very difficult to find someone who will do a small concrete job and also installs railings. And most of them will use Home Depot railings.

Yes, he talks about putting down a deposit. I think I would be afraid to do that.

It is crazy it takes that long for them to respond to the call lights they need to hire more people.

They talk about weird things that will happen with this eclipse. I hope one of those weird things is a return to customer service!! 
Glad hubby was in good spirits after seeing some buddies.

@LindaOHio — I know. I went to a Target the other day and was genuinely shocked that the people there seemed to actually like their job and want to HELP.

@LindaOHio When we first moved in here there was only a railing on the right side of the stairs going up to the second floor. As soon as I could find somebody, I had a railing installed on the other side, too. I felt the difference right away. Total relief.

I worry about the Meals on Wheels people. I don't use those stairs.

Good luck getting your husband the care he needs.
I was fortunate to be able to spend most days at my husband’s bedside giving him additional support, and advocating for him when they wanted to skip one of his meds.

@LindaOHio they thought the med was merely a suggestion of something he “might” need.

He was able to do three times walking while holding onto the rail and with two people supporting him.

It's such good news to hear that your husband is in good spirits.
What a shame that you have to keep calling about his call light and so frustrating that the railing guy hasn't gotten back to you.
