So miss Scarlet .. me responding to your post means I decided to argue? You can throw out all of the Jeez Louise's and oofta's you want, if someone is going to attack my posts I will respond.
Ok, so I guess YOU working there over rules ME working there. Your experience sounds very different then mine. You seem to be disregarding my experience completely. It happened ... I was there.
Bottom line ... the girls need charges taken against them in a court of law, and I also believe a psych evaluation would be in order. Unless things have changed drastically since I've been there (and it's been several years), Good Sam needs to re-evaluate their training program to include classes - real ones.
This is the most disgusting story I have heard in a long time. I can't imagine living a long life into my 90's and end up in a nursing home with some bratty little sh*ts doing what these girls did. I can't imagine living out my life in that way, and I cry for the ones that had to endure these vicious acts. I'm so mad right now ... I probably shouldn't be posting.

QUOTE I hope the Nurse who was told outside of work (back in March)by one of the NA's that "things were going on" got fired too. She didn't check into it or check back with the NA.
Reading the report it looks like there were mainly 2 NA's who were doing the abuse and the others either might have witnessed some instances or were hearing about it second hand. I really can't believe that if there was that much gossip that nurses or admin weren't hearing about it.
If the nurse was told only that "things were going on", she likely assumed it was the normal heckling and avoidance of the residents... not necessarily that the NA's were doing obscure sh!t.
Now, if I was GS (and the many other homes aware of this situation), I would be installing video monitoring of all resident's rooms.. this surely would have prevented acts like this from happening, and would aide the nurses in the care of the residents.

You know what they say about "assuming" things.
Look what happened.
I don't know why more facilities don't use cameras.
I still think the supervisors are accountable in this situation as well.

Just thought I would put in my two cents worth.
My daughter is a CNA at ThorneCrest and has been for six years now. She really enjoys her work (even though it is hard at times - especially the lifting).
What really bothers her is the way people put her down for the job she has. Not everybody can handle that type of work. Some lady came up to her, as an example, and asked her what she did for a living. When she told her she was a CNA at ThorneCrest the woman responded "Oh, you're just one of those butt washers.".
Some time ago a man moved from Good Sam to ThorneCrest and when she went to check on him he asked her to "choke his chicken". She, of course, didn't know what he was talking about. When it came out about those terrible things going on at Good Sam she knew why he would have said such a thing.

Actually, while working at GS, I never once encountered rude comments about my job. In fact, everyone always told me that they were in awe over NA's. Most would state that they could never do it.
As far as an male resident asking your daughter to "choke his chicken" .. I believe that is an "old" saying, and many residents would say things like that. I believe it has something to do with their progressive psychological diseases/disorders. There was also a man that wheeled around in his wheel chair every night at a certain time trying to "get the horses in the barn before the storms come". Much of what they will say is at random, and part of your job is knowing that.

It wasn't so much him saying "choke my chicken" but him going on to demonstrate what he meant. She is very used to them talking in the past thinking that was what was happening now. Many of the residents talk about their parents coming to visit etc.

As I stated when he said "choke his chicken" she didn't know what he was talking about. When he demonstrated she knew quite well what he was talking about and quickly left the room.
