She lives in a full care nursing facility, and they shower her 2 x a week. They have to have a machine to lift her to the bathroom and shower. She says the
showers are always cold. But she is always cold. Always ! She is always in pain she has arthritus in her neck and gets killer headachs constantly. She is incontinent. I can hardly stand to be in the room? Any one have any suggestions or ideas? If she knew she would be humiliated if she realized this.
You can report abuse, or if her health is at risk ?
I have decided that for the amount of money it costs and for the sacrifice to have Mom in a nice place, I will not put up with her being mistreated in anyway!
I really try not to complain unless I need to. I have found Moms place to be reasonable people, and professional . I am grateful.
Good luck! Blessings
area. So far so good. Thanks everyone!!
They shower her 2x per week the cost of the full care is stagering. So paying more seems like Idk? I read on the site here that a shower 2 x a week at a facility is normal. She is not bed ridden in that she sits and sleeps in her mechanical chair all day and night. She refuses to sleep in a bed. She says it scares her because she can't get out. She can not walk at all. I feel like I have to keep on top of things all the time. For her continous infections, etc. They are now testing her every so often for UTI'S and sinus infections etc.
She feels like nothing in her room is her own. That they come in and take what ever they want? (she says) Is that normal? I know when she lived with me, she was always accusing us of stealing her stuff ? We would always find it in her room. Usually right next to her.
