However they aren't, and many can't even communicate in English, so we put our Seniors at huge risk. It prevents those who care, from adapting situations, because they are uncertain if any qualified help will be coming later, or if the person scheduled to show up, will be who does show up. Uncertainty creates stress, creates a risk to the safety of the Patient. That is a fact, no matter how Beacon Community Services and VIHA want to spin it.

Simple ability to look up a patient's name, to ascertain why they called in the first place is too much for their Sunday staff. They just can't type, or maybe it is they can't read? Certainly isn't the computer, but hell, that's what they'll blame. Another screw up that helps quicken Mom's end. Like she needs more stress, more uncertainty in her life? According to BCS she does, which is why they are willing to provide that added stress, those added worries, when they should be concerned about helping her avoid them. Listening VIHA?

I can't find the way out, of this funk, this needless worry about 'what if'. And it is dragging me down, but also impacting mom. I have to find a way, to stop it, to cease this mind set that only makes things worse.

Yet they also can tear your heart into pieces, due to the emotions they stir. At times, I wish I wasn't so emotional, but then, that is part of being human, that maybe too many forget. I hate crying at 2 in the afternoon, yet maybe it helps? I only wish Mom would talk more, then again, I sometimes hope not. It is a roller coaster ride.
