There are some who should not be home support workers. There are others like Wanda, Arlene, Tracy, & Yvette who should be. Sophie doesn’t fall into that category.
What is it with some women, who try to confuse an older person, by insisting they have been here before, that we didn’t have a dog then. Kind of odd, considering we’ve had our dog for 4 plus years now, and when we got Molly, we didn’t have Beacon Community Service workers.
When you are assigned to a new place, or one you may have been at awhile ago, it would make sense to check the care plan. Course that would also mean that the office would have to insure it was up to date, something Beacon is GROSSLY INCAPABLE OF DOING. Our care plan still shows Mom with a broken wrist.
It simply makes sense, to insure that health care plans, are up to date. Makes you wonder, at how a supposed ACCREDITED BUSINESS can have so many complaints, be so incapable of performing its contractual obligations, that it has any ACCREDIDATION.
Obviously it is about MONEY. To send women who can’t communicate with their patients, such as the one we had Sunday, or the one today, who harps on how her country was good to Jews, who keeps trying to confuse Mom by saying she was here before, that there was no dog, that Mom should have a shower, that I am too big, is not going to help.
Nor is telling her that her foot should be hurting, because the toes are a bit too close together. Like let’s get her worried about something new, which happens with older people. They fixate on things that mean nothing.
Frankly, they can claim they are NON PROFIT all they want, but you can’t run on a deficit, and there is no doubt, that this contract with VIHA is a lucrative one. After all, they aren’t sending properly trained workers, but one’s who they train in house, if one is lucky. Hell, how can you train anyone, if they can’t fully communicate in English?
The money they get is obviously being used for their other projects, or through some other method, because there is NO WAY IN HELL they are putting all the money they get, back into hiring proper staff, into training, or anything else, that remotedly comes close to benefiting the Patients under their care.
WITHOUT proper checks, from VIHA, these contracted companies can & DO what they please. They use whatever workers they want, without fear of being called to account for it. As much as I object to Beacon Community Services, and how they conduct business, IT IS VIHA THAT IS TO BLAME.
The reality is simple. GOVERNMENT IS FAILING THE PEOPLE WHO THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO SERVE. It makes no difference who is in charge anymore. Whether it is the Pit Bull Carol James or the Laid Back Gordon Cambpell, their only goal is to hold onto power, anyway they can. It is not about doing what is right, nor is it about caring for the needs of the more vulnerable in our society, it is about protecting the profits, for their special interest groups.
For Campbell, it is the Real Estate groups, while for Carol James it is for the elite Unions, like the Teachers, Nurses union.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SERVING THE PEOPLE?
