Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
As an as an ex-employee I still kept in touch with some of the residents. I used to be able to visit with no problem, new administrator comes in and now says I am not allowed to visit after he tells me I am not going to be rehired either.
My opinion, as long as you cause no problems and the residents enjoy your visits then I don't see the problem. Private or not, the residents are paying big bucks to live there and should be able to see whom they want. Where u given a good reason for the bann?
Hi JoAnn No reason was given and I was caught so off guard I couldn't even get my thoughts together enoughto ask why. I don't want to call there or send any emails because I don't want any trouble. The residents wanted to know if they can request a visit and I told them not to do that just yet I'm afraid of retaliation against them. That is just my thought he gave me no reason really to think that but just doesn't seem like he's being fair
It is private property. Many places are nervous about former employees being on site. You note that you are not going to be re-hired, not certain what position you have, but most nursing homes I know are constantly hiring, so this seems very strange to me.
Hi hi yes when I was let go I was allowed to visit the Residence at anytime I want it I just signed in like any other visitor with the old administrator, this new one made his own rules. I worked in activities hours got cut due to budget and being low man on the totem pole and this is what happened. Never had any words or caused any problems
If you left on bad terms or was fired, then I can absolutely see why the administrator doesn’t want you on the property. But You literally gave no details here so......people are going to project and assume in their responses
You are correct! I did not leave on bad terms with the administrator that was there, they were going to rehire me if the budget allowed but it didn't work out, and I knew it was a possibility so no I was disappointed but didn't get disruptive or cause any kind of scene. Find the new administrator came in I guess he felt differently and did not give me a reason why I can't come to visit. Residents want to know if they can request a visit but I'm afraid to get resident involved because I don't want him to retaliate on them.
I understand that it is easy to get attached when working in a NH, but you have to maintain professional boundaries. Since you have chosen to overstep those boundaries, the administrator is doing what is necessary.
It might be wise to run this by the families first but unless the administrator has put out a bulletin to all the staff there is absolutely no way to keep you from visiting evenings and weekends when management typically isn't there 😉.
You can see why it might be company policy to discourage former employees from visiting. Did you leave voluntarily, or come to the end of a fixed-term contract, or were you made redundant?
But on the other hand, you are a general member of the public and you are a guest of one or more residents. Do they invite you or do you just call in every so often?
If you want to keep in touch with particular individuals and they enjoy your visits, perhaps you can negotiate with the new administrator. He'd find it harder to ban you if you're there at their specific invitation. Be nice, better yet have another job somewhere else, and see if that cheers him up.
