Newest addition to workload is the expectation of rehabilitation. As it is I use my coffee breaks with the intent of providing better care to residents. Even still, by doing this im unable to provide the optimal care that residents so deserve.

The nurse attempted to do it on her own... then called me in to help.. as she moaned about how short staffed they are and questionned my daily visits to my mom. I waited an hour and my mom still wasn't put to bed before I left. Mom sat in her chair for 10 hours today. The nurse ignored the patient's bell calls and rolled her eyes when someone asked for help. This is ( insert expletive here) insane. The gov't doesn't care-no one does. Sad.

The minisirty keeps piling more work on less staff and it is the elderly that suffer. I would love to have a conversation with a resident and take the time to find out what they are feeling. Do you have a bath every day? Do you not think that these people deserve to have a bath more than 2 a week. The government needs to step to the plate and take care of our seniors like they do in alberta.

Let's not forget that they are the people that fought for, and helped to create a country in which we can live freely.
Remember, that we are caring for someone's mother, or father, or grandparent!
This government needs to be more accountable for their actions, and held to their promises!!!
Be the change!!!
