Personnel are improperly trained, for the most part. A total lack of common sense exists in most workers, who are provided with out dated information on their duties. Yet VIHA refuses to keep any check and balance over this company, that receives millions in taxpayer money to perform its duties. What is worse, is that the care being provided, borders on criminal abuse of the patients in their care. This is negligence, at best.

Polite way of saying that we hasten their demise, death. This is what happens when those at the top of the scale are more interested in how many new cars they can buy, how many summer homes they have, than about insuring their product, service, is the best it can be. It filters down, so that many simply don't care, wrapped up in their own struggle to just survive todays Corporate Run World.

Like it is their job to wash out the commode, used or not. It is their job to dispose of the dirty depends, to put the dirty laundry into the dirty laundry basket, not mine. I am supposed to get 50 minutes break, not wind up doing more work, like insuring they aren't ripping Mom's arm out of her socket, or causing more open sores in her groin. PAY ME BCS and Mom may live to be 95. Keep it up and you'll have her dead and buried before she can turn 95 in May.

Like old fashioned common sense, which means, dirty nightshirts aren't kept for use later in the day.

Yet consistently, substitute workers seem incapable of basic caring skills. Such as claiming to know how specialized creams should be applied, when they don't even know what the creams are, that have been prescribed.
