#long term care

[roman-and-azathoth]

As someone who used to work at a nursing home, I'm getting really tired of nursing staff turning to each other and going, "if I ever end up like THAT, just fucking kill me" like motherfucker the quality of life of these residents is your SOLE responsibility and if they're not living their best lives that is YOUR FAULT.

These residents are here because this is their best option. They're here because if they weren't, their quality of life would be worse.

These residents make friends with their roommates, the people they eat with, and the people who go to activities with them.

A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by their ability to walk.

A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by their ability to breathe without oxygen.

A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by whether or not they're on a feeding tube.

A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by level of continence.

A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by whether or not they can chew their food.

A disabled elder's quality of life is entirely measured on whether or not their needs are met.

If their quality of life is worse at a nursing home than it would be if they had just stayed home, then their needs are not being met. If you are not meeting their needs, that is YOUR FAULT and you have FAILED your residents as a medical professional.

#nursing #stna #nurse aide #nurses #long term care #i understand burnout is a thing #but do NOT fucking talk about your residents like that #they deserve the best life you can provide #and if youre not doing your job then why are you here #family members leave their loved ones on our care for a reason #theyre trusting us to maintain a good quality of life for them #and if we're not doing that then whats the fucking point #like if you genuinely look at somebody in a wheelchair and think “if i ever ended up like that just kill me” thats NOT ok

At least 99 hospital patients in Ontario have been placed in long-term care homes without their consent, the province's auditor general has found.

Opposition politicians and seniors' advocates have roundly criticized a law the Progressive Conservative government enacted last year to enable those moves, which can see those patients placed in homes up to 70 kilometres away, or 150 kilometres if they are in northern Ontario.

The annual report from the auditor general's office this week said the government has not been transparent in implementing the law. It allows hospital placement co-ordinators to transfer those patients to a home not of their choosing, and can see them charged $400 a day if they refuse.

So for at home care do you have to need like, nursing home level care? The nurse I talked to made it seem like that was the case which is why I thought it wasn't for me. I technically can bathe and dress myself but it's hard and I don't bathe as often as I should. I wear mostly overalls and sweaters. It varies though. I can't really do much during a flare up but I'm mostly ok outside of those. Cleaning is super difficult and usually causes a flare up and I rarely am able to clean. Cooking is also difficult as I can't stand that long and my mom doesn't allow chairs in the kitchen (the counters are too tall anyway). But the nurse said I needed to require help with bathing and dressing? Also I'm kind of nervous about having a complete stranger bathing me, as that's super intimate and I have sexual trauma related to that. Could my partner be my aid? He's pretty much the only one I'll let see me in that way.

Thinking about the future makes Courtney Johnson nervous.

The 25-year-old blogger and college student has autism and several chronic illnesses, and with the support of her grandparents and friends, who help her access a complex network of social services, she lives relatively independently in Johnson City, Tennessee.

"If something happens to them, I'm not certain what would happen to me, especially because I have difficulty with navigating things that require more red tape," she said.

Johnson said she hasn't made plans that would ensure she receives the same level of support in the future. She especially worries about being taken advantage of or being physically harmed if her family and friends can't help her — experiences she's had in the past.

"I like being able to know what to expect, and thinking about the future is a bit terrifying to me," she said.

Johnson's situation isn't unique.

Do I Have to Sign Over All My Assets when I Enter a Long-Term Care Facility?

Do I Have to Sign Over All My Assets when I Enter a Long-Term Care Facility?

I get asked some version of this question fairly frequently. I generally reassure clients that most facilities simply require you to pay month-to-month, and you can leave at any time. Now I may have to change my response, as news broke this week that a New Jersey woman allegedly had all her assets stolen by the very entity she trusted to care for her. The woman entered a facility for a short-term…

Ontario's Progressive Conservative government passed a motion Monday to skip public hearings for legislation that would allow hospital patients awaiting long-term care to be transferred to a home without their consent.

I hate it here.

Class action lawsuits against six of Ontario's largest for-profit long-term care (LTC) home providers, claiming gross negligence that led to illnesses and deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic, have been allowed to proceed.

In a ruling last week, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice certified class action suits against Sienna, Revera, Schlegel, Responsive, Extendicare and Chartwell.

The separate class actions were filed on behalf of thousands of clients, family members and visitors, who allege the companies were unprepared to provide care during the pandemic and failed to protect the health of residents and visitors.

Blizzard

I live in Texas and not to many places have actual snow in the winter in this great state of Texas. I stopped watching the news a few years back just because it’s never good news and I don’t want that negative energy in my life and one year I guess I should have watched the weather before going into work. It was cold but not unbearable. I got ready not knowing that there was a massive cold front…
