Not just LTC. When I was in the hospital, I had to get my own linens from the hallway and wash myself in the bathroom with a heart rate over 150. When my mom was in SNF and even in hospice, I bathed her every night. Washed her hands , cleaned her dentures, combed her hair. Too sad to see her decline and didn’t want her to loose her dignity too

CNA’s used to do that, but now they rely on visitors and family to do it. You have to be loud and go to the front desk and request it.

Staff ratios

at the end of the day, it's staffing. and short staffing that turns into burnout, so even when there are enough staff (rarely ever) those who have been working consistently don't have the energy to do it. poor staffing leads to burnout, burnout leads to complacency.

We just need to cut out the illusion that staff will do it. Nope. You want meemaw washed up? Bring in the supplies have yourselves a spa day.

My honest opinion? Staffing. Larger staff to patient ratios and pushing all of the blame on staff for not getting it done and taking no accountability for making it so that it is impossible to take care of patients the way they deserve and pushing staff to their breaking point mentally and physically and emotionally to save some bucks. Instead of supporting staff they will threaten with write ups and other action when tasks do not get completed yet the amount of tasks to complete is infeasible so for staff members you are in a lose lose position because you are the faces people remember and blame for their care also they do not understand that the root of the problem is not that staff is lazy but they are fighting a losing battle every day they show up

They simply pull the shower aide instead of filling any call off too...

it's sad, really. i wish i could spend an hour on every single resident and get them looking as perfect as possible every day. in my case, the facility has a census with ridiculous limitations, and we're so "short" because of it. time is usually spent handling blowouts, bed changes, etc. it's horrible :( i wish we could have more staff, others deserve better.

Because LTC has 20:1 ratios? They won’t hire enough staff.
