Hi...I will keep you in my prayers. I'm glad the staff is being better with your pain management. The nurses should know it is better to keep on top of the pain med dosing and not get behind with that. That's why being at home you can be sure to take your pain med every 6 hours or however it is ordered. Your body needs proper sleep to heal also and so hard to get that in most nursing homes. I'm not trying to convince you one way or another, but please think what is best for you and I do pray you feel better soon. .....Cindy

Thank you, Cindy. š Itās been a long 10 days here in the nursing home partly because I see and hear how residents are neglected. One lady with Alzheimerās repeats herself over and over like a parrot. I heard a nurse yelling at her to be quiet so I got my walker and went to talk to the poor lady. Sheās rolled into a hallway and left alone for hours. I spoke to her and patted her shoulder which helped calm her down. Another lady down the hall screams on and off all night. The call button station down the hall sounds like a fire alarm that needs batteries. It only stops wailing around 2 am. Sometimes no one shows up for a hour when you push the call button. The new resident across the hall doesnāt understand the call button so I have to get a nurse when he starts yelling āHelp!ā The manager appears to be permanently attached to the chair in her office. Most frightening is reading that this is one of the best nursing facilities in the county. š
