Now that she is back, she&#8217;s off to other people, and not even with a full schedule.  She has time available, in Mom&#8217;s time slot, but it seems that SENIORITY takes precedence over ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Patricia Donaldson phoned this morning, regarding my complaint from the weekend. An interesting conversation, given that I think we are poles apart on what we consider proper care for the elderly.

		<description><![CDATA[The good old Campbell Government announced it is going to raise the fees, charged to Seniors in Care Homes.  A nice little New Year&#8217;s gift for them, is an 8% rise in fees this coming year, 10% next year.   It is expected to generate an additional $54 Million to the Province.
Isn&#8217;t that nice, to know ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The regular worker, scheduled for this week is off,  which has brought another influx of new home support workers from Beacon Community Services. Funny, how so many claim &#8216;years of experience&#8217; and yet, it seems like they haven&#8217;t a clue on how to handle an old women, of about 120 pounds.
I mean it seems like ...]]></description>

Personal Opinion by Ian Kovnats
Copyright © 2009 ◊ All Rights Reserved
