Fcuking ridiculous - work rant

You really do have my sympathies

I suspect every one of your residents could really require attention 24 hours a day, and it simply can't be provided

All you can do it what you can - and I expect that's more than some would do ?

That's awful Hawhaw. You and they shouldn't have to put up with that sort of treatment. Is there anyway that the home could be reported to the CSCI (or other regulating body if there is one) for an urgent inspection?

Is there also a nurse on this shift too? Are they helping?

No nurse, we are residential not nursing.

CSCI don't have set ratio's, it's just something woolly like as many staff as is appropriate.

You obviously know then that 2 staff at night is not appropriate. You know your workload and what needs to be done. You know that between the 2 of you, that you cannot get done everything that needs to be done to keep the residents in a manner that they are entitled to. Surely you can complain to CSCI on those grounds rather than on ratio grounds?

What do family think? Do they have any inkling of what happens? Do they realise that the care of their family is suffering because of the inability of management to employ sufficient staff? Could they complain as well?

Hawhaw, you are doing a brilliant job in an awful situation, and I feel for you.

How incredibly frustrating, it must be so difficult and an awfully huge responsibility for two carers (16 patients)

I'd just like to say that I really wish that the people who look after my Gran cared as much as you clearly do.

Have another glass of wine - you definitely deserve it ?
