The truth is in how they perform, and judging by that, they have ZIP experience in actually caring for elderly people. They are uncaring, unfeeling, glorified house keepers, and nothing more. Are you listening Beacon Community Services?

Give support to those in the home, not to add to their stress, their worry. VIHA simply doesn't care to check that Beacon does as their contract requires. Result is, 93 year olds suffer, as does their families.

WE are the OWNERS & it is up to us to start changing the attitudes of those who work for us, such as VIHA & Beacon Community Services. It is time to RESTORE common sense to how we manage our home support services.

You simply DO NOT PROVIDE the care needed, move on to the next job, so you can attend to as many people as possible. So what if the patient suffers, it isn't about caring for them, but about making a profit, right VIHA? Beacon Community Services? After all, one has to pay for those high priced CEO's somehow.

The first step is to not think of it as a business, or that it must make a profit. There are hidden benefits, that you just can't put a price on. Yet we seem to do just that, by not insuring that in home care, is qualified. We need to stop hiding our heads, but actually address the issue of senior care, to help ease the financial strain on the system. It is just common sense.
