Many of the people there were beyond taking care of themselves and they often would be left in their wheelchairs in front of the nurses' desk so they could be easily watched. It was pitiful. But others were like me--there on a temporary basis and able to speak up for themselves. Even a few who were there permanently because of severe physical issues could and did speak up. The center had regular meetings for residents and boy, did we tell them what was wrong. The man who ran the dining service ducked when he saw me coming in my wheelchair. So encourage the people you meet who can speak up to do so. Take them stamped envelopes with the address of the huge corporation that owns the facility. These people do not want complaints. None of this is easy and I know that your mom and Rosemary are beyond fighting, bless their hearts. But other fighters are there. By the way, I complained so often about getting cold food in my room that the dining director arranged for me to be seated in the main dining room, which was quite a way from my room. I got hot food then, but I kept complaining when the food that reached my hall was cold. We had to take care of each other.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787859509625375865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26527197.post-38869563448374118342008-04-08T09:05:00.000-04:002008-04-08T09:05:00.000-04:00I'd like to know how many politicians have ownersh...I'd like to know how many politicians have ownership in or invested money in businesses that care for the elderly or at least in the established health care system we suffer under today.<BR/><BR/>How many of them have tax payers dollars rolling into their pockets?<BR/><BR/>Do the politicians fear a change in the system 'cause it would change how those dollars reach their pockets?<BR/><BR/>Show me the money flow.<BR/><BR/>WAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
