Scorpio115 Member Registered: 10/03/05 Posts: 44 Loc: New York	My mom spent 3 weeks in a rehab facility recently and had nothing but complaints about the employees there. Now, I didn't notice anything wrong while visiting and I couldn't take my mom very seriously since she finds fault with almost everything. As much of a sweetheart as she is, she is very demanding. On the other side, my son, a professional in the medical field, worked in a facility and gave us the side of the employees. So, there are good and bad everywhere. Just be wide-minded and use good judgment.

I know some, but they still get thrown in with all the negativity. Kinda sad.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	At the Nursing Home I frequent I have never seen or heard anything negative. The residents all seem happy and well cared for as much as can be expected. I am sometimes there in the early AM to prepare food for one thing or another and even the night shift is cordial and accomodating and I (as you know) am not a person that miss's much, tee-hee!!! This may not be the norm however and I know that too.

Carol Bradley Bursack Member Registered: 01/16/06 Posts: 9 Loc: Fargo, ND	Kay, you are so right to find the home you want. We are blessed, in my area (North Dakota) to have many good facilities, but I knew what I wanted for my parents, and worked hard to get them there. Keep up the good work - and faith. Don't forget that you need care, too.
