The State Investigators are here

I called the appropriate folks about our lack of a screen on our window. Our screen fell off and for months I requested one. We open the window when we need to air out this room and have fresh air. Roomie went nuts when it was open because flies came in. Moths would come in for the lights. Ok,so it just never was taken care of. So I called the state folks and told them about the blocked AC vent that was finally discovered and the screen problem. SO today they put in our screen. We are celebrating it is here by opening the window.

Our fav CNA said they are fixing the blinds and other things because the state is here.

Roomie told her I called them. Oh well, I do not care. Shame on staff for not reporting it when repairs are not made.

 

The nurse came in my room hunting down my fav cna telling her to go help someone move out of his room into another across the building. It is one of the men that are from THAT table. One night I came out of my bathroom to ask the nurse for nausea meds right in front of my room and there lo and behold but ringleader man with big mouth of table event. He was silent but his eyes bugged out of their sockets and he turned and wheeled away quickly. Well I knew he was a couple of doors down from me but who cares. It did bother me to see him in the common area, but he usually Was silent without his crew. Like bully he is,he was afraid when alone. I am glad he is reassigned a new room.

 

This still hurts me. All the gossip,misrepresentations*, and how did those men get to be victims when they were Getting me removed from the table.

People will insist on blaming the messenger.  Try to stay above it. I'm so glad to hear you got the window fixed though.  If work needs doing they should be able to get it done without you having to call the higher ups.

 

Keep on being the squeaky wheel and you never know things might actually change.

If you feel staff or management is retaliating against you for calling the state, call them again and report that as well.

 

Speaking as a former administrator on licensed group homes, I know the rules.

glad things are getting done, but they should be addressed within 24 hours of initial reporting of concern.

keep the faith, things will improve for you but also others in the facility, and those to come.
