Do you own an aging parent or dearly loved one in the Nursing Home? Anyhow, I have my 92 years old mother there right now and I throw a new appreciation for anybody who caring for mom recently. Since I am mom's primary caregiver inside your house I have made my presence known inside the Nursing Home... since I have nothing else to do.... HA!
I have had so many questions and the caretakers is actually busy that I have already been quietly observing and keeping a supervision out for mom. At present, I couldn't ask for further caring nurses and nurses aides but big event a perfect world so there are many sprinkled in here high that aren't as restrictions... you know what I'm talking about. BUT on a entirely, the wonderful caretakers far out weigh the bad ones in my opinion.
Now, as i was visiting mom today at 4: 45 a. m., yes you heard me, I am a totally early riser, I was in the room when the night shift nurse started in with mom's morning vitamin supplements. When the nurse said "Alice right here are your morning pills" connection ears perked up.
When we'd our second meeting by the doctor, he made mention that he or she wanted this particular medicinal drug to be taken soon enough and a certain way or it wouldn't have the effect certainly was suppose to have.
Every morning for 2 weeks I just assumed how an orders were followed shopping. NOT!
After the nurse end her task and walked out from the room I quietly arrived on the scene her without alarming father and asked her if it particular medicine was that can be taken alone. She looked at me when i say puzzled and said "I have no notion but I sure will be taught. "
She immediately looked in mom's chart my husband had before her and focus to me that it did not confirm what I shared with her so she continued to investigate and sure enough discovered that indeed the original medical physician orders did say a few things i thought.
I very kindly apologized you will notice that her for butting inside but thanked her for not brushing me off and he or she graciously said to me they earn mistakes and she was thankful for my letting her know and she or he immediately changed the orders.
Now, I know I might have been rude and demanding but where would might just have gotten me?
A FURIOUS NURSE!!!
That's not the things i want so....
I made a decision to be kind about it and that i got a pleasant i praise you back from her. We can make it tough or we can assist all of us.
This is just my opinion but I have already been observing a lot while sitting in that room with mom and provides changed my way of observing Nursing Homes in general.
In future articles I keep give you little tips or oversees to make the actual woman's stay in the home a bit easier.
Remember.... it depends upon our communication while tackling all the health professionals who may be in control of the care of our elderly and mature.
We need to don't forget- even though these individual workers have our elderly's comes from their hands and basically put our trust in them to check to the best of your ability to keep everthing correct, they are human beings exactly like you and I and these people have a HUGE responsibility on their shoulders when nurturing our loved ones.
Let's help them, instead of making their task available to them harder.
You know what surrounding you at home.... these folks don't end up with just our aging parent or soon-to-be ex but with many more all all at one time.
When I walk in the hall and see overall lights that are illuminated I wonder how worldwide they can make everyone happy given that just can't get stressed the little people on one occasion. It is a process and amazing be more patient with individuals have the lives permanent magnetic loved ones in their hands.
So the next time for you to are visiting with then this parent or hear your parent state they are being neglected.... they aren't!
We need to show more patience together wonderful nurses and nurse's aides that giving their life to look after our aging family cases.
