We met with the director of nursing, and aired the lengthy list of issues that we had with the nursing home where she is staying. They were concerned, clearly, and promised to take steps to improve the deficits. And, she said that Mom is not using her button to call staff needlessly or excessively, which was good to hear.
But are her promises enough?
The next day, her pants had all disappeared. Every one. I went down to laundry's lost and found, and went through a double-mountain of lost items, and found at least a dozen items of hers - including some that were clearly marked.
And the staff was snippy, possibly in retribution for her/our raising issues.
And the shower room was strewn with other resident's dirty towels when it was her time for hospice to come in to help her.
But, at least, for once, her oxygen was not empty.
Mom says she's getting comfortable there. Do I leave her there, hoping that status improves, and that they 'get used to her preferences'? Or, do we move her quickly before it becomes even more traumatic to move a second time?
And if we move her to another nursing home I've researched with an excellent reputation, will they have similar issues? It's impossible to research all the potential problems.
I honestly don't know.
