QUOTE I "heard" the same thing about the cell phones and pics.
I also "heard" not all were underage.
But what gets me is that the abuse was substanciated by the State.
Apparantly that doesn't matter.
Message to all is to be afraid...be very afraid.
Do NOT put relatives or anybody in ANY facility where you have to depend on the service and management of others for their basic needs. Because they don't care and neither does the law.
They are understaffed to begin with...
Hire under age...under-trained staff...
Department heads are too concerned with desk work and paper work that the "human" interest has lost its place in the line-up. (As evident by the # of lights flashing in the resident rooms ALL THE TIME and NO ONE answers them)!
And most of all...no one has a work ethic anymore.
Everything is strictly about $$$$$!
If $$$ is your driving force you do not deserve to work in healthcare because you lack the motivation to care.
I am so PO'D I can hardly contain myself.
This is SO WRONG. SO blatantly, IN OUR FACE WRONG!! Good thing you are not the county attorney. You seem to like to state things as facts without much evidence. If not charges are filed, I would think Craig is going to have a hard time getting re elected. But I am willing to give him the time to best prepare in order to stand a better chance of getting convections. As for what someone who works at the courthouse said, if they are really in a position to know what you claim, they should lose their job. But my guess is that it is someone without real knowledge.
Please enlighten me as to what you are referring??
Exactly what facts did I state without evidence??

QUOTE One thing that we need to remember is that not all nursing homes are bad, Santorini. There are, of course, a few a$$holes that work in nursing homes, that should not be allowed to work with any vulnerable adult, as we have seen with the GS case. What these girls have done to the residents is terrible! I completely feel that they should have charges pressed against them....However, the facility in general is a very good facility, filled with many staff members who care a lot about the residents...I see it first hand at GS and I do believe that there are people that work there that are not in the health care field just for the money...Anyone that has worked in a nursing home knows that the pay isn't all that great...and yes, very under staffed..
I AM in the health care field.
I DO work with the aged and vulnerable.
I DO have a degree.
I AM board certified.
I DO see first hand.
I work everyday with the vulnerable population.
They depend on us, all the diciplines, to protect them.
I would never put a relative in a nursing home, because no matter how the facilities try...they can never be a home. It's an institution.
Did I enter this dicipline for the money? Never, not when it comes to health care. It's a calling. Money is secondary.

Now, would everybody quit beating up on me!!
I am so disgusted by this case and the lack of anything being done as well as the lack of updates.
Everything so far is speculative.

Santorini,
Are you in a position to contact the County Attorney's office and arrange an appointment with Mr. Nelson, Mr. Walker or (crud...I can't remember her name....is it McBride?) to express your concerns?

Gurrah, Santorini didn't say that. He responded to me on that when he said: QUOTE Santorini did NOT hear it. READ MY POST!
I was TOLD by a co-worker.
This co-worker is the one that heard it on KATE. Thurs.
Whatever, sorry.
You come on here and make one post on a "I heard" statement. That isn't going to carry any credibility with posters here. QUOTE I have heard from a source within the court house that there will NOT be charges against the ones involved. Mainly because the county attorney doesn't believe that there is enough evidence against the the girls and apparently (one guy), not sure if I heard that correctly? There must just be some confusion here. Either not meaning what they type or not recalling who said what.
Regardless. After Santorini's post, QUOTE I AM in the health care field.
I DO work with the aged and vulnerable.
I DO have a degree.
I AM board certified.
I DO see first hand.
I work everyday with the vulnerable population.
They depend on us, all the diciplines, to protect them.
I would never put a relative in a nursing home, because no matter how the facilities try...they can never be a home. It's an institution.
Did I enter this dicipline for the money? Never, not when it comes to health care. It's a calling. Money is secondary. I can understand where they are coming from a little better. My Grandmother was Activities Director at a home for quite a few years. She is now in the nursing home where my Mother has worked for many more years as an Activity Coordinator, so when talking to mom, I can understand what you mean.
Gurrah, QUOTE If not charges are filed, I would think Craig is going to have a hard time getting re elected. I doubt that he's even the least bit worried about that.
When was the last time he was even opposed in the election? I can't recall.

I wonder if he really said that ... or if the paper got it wrong. Either way ... it's funny!
