Currently in Utah, working at a place that has people who cannot get up and go get water from the sink themselves. The company is saying that they are to only have those tiny dixie paper cups to drink out of unless the family brings them a water glass. That I am to immediately stop giving them glasses of water to drink from the facility kitchen. Yesterday, found supper had been placed in a room but, not set in front of resident, so they did not eat. The fluids given with that dinner were 6 ounces of milk. I have also been told that if family did not bring them toilet paper they are not to be given toilet paper. He said that medicaid residents are suppose to buy their own garbage bags, toilet paper and water glasses out of the tiny stipend they get per month. Do I need to just go get another job, or is there something I can do. They have a few hospice residents there who are in the process of dying who are not able to take care of themselves. I am concerned.
If you can't walk or stand need assistance to the bathroom are coming down with dementia go into a skilled facility Assistant living and I have worked in five facilities are nightmares. If all you needed was hospitality service should stay home that's basically what an assistant living is it's not a medical facility private pay and they will keep you there as long as you can afford to stay.

After seeing what most people go through after age 65 I better manage my time well or else.
