It sickened me that the only time any of them would have any regular visitation was when the family got the notice that the loved one they crammed in a secluded room was slipping away. One even went so far to park their RV in the back lot of the nursing home and they watched him like hawks. It effects each resident so differently. One will be completely content, glad that at least someone is taking care of them. Glad that they aren't alone at home with no one to help them. Others grow bitter, feeling helpless and unloved. It really breaks your heart. You really do have to treat those people like your own family. I had dozens of grandma's and grandpa's there. Many of them were there when my mother worked at the same nursing home. And those residents remembered me peeking in to visit my mother while she worked. I hated leaving that job. I don't see why some nurses had to be a PITA towards me. I did my job and then some. When I could, I'd sit with the residents and keep them company, yet I got scolded for that even though in our training it said we need to do that. I wasn't the robotic aide that was on the shift with me. It's a difficult job and it takes people with the heart Lucy has to do it the right way. Beautifully done hun. *hugs* *HUGS* Wow, you just brought back all the feelings I had for my residents at the nursing homes.
