This is gonna be a fun week for us both.
2 of the regular home support workers are off this week, which means, we get newbies for four out of the five days. And the first one scheduled was Anita, but hey, we got a substitute for her already, Trudy. LOL
So far, a nice lady but the information she’s been given is that we have a dog, and Mom has a broken wrist.
Uh the cast came off in September 2009. Such updated info!
She may indeed be nice, seems nice, but without any advance information on what is expected of her, how can she do a good job? It amazes me at how any company can send people into Patient’s homes, without giving them a list of what they are to do.
For example, a sponge bath isn’t all that complicated, but apparently so. I am asked, today, if she has to make Mom her breakfast, which I suppose is what they do, though since we have been using the services of Beacon Community Services, we have NEVER needed anyone to make the breakfast for Mom, or dispense her meds.
Yet routinely with New Workers, or Substitutes, we are asked that. Kind of makes you wonder, what information (IF ANY) that these ladies are being provided with.
