Staff knows but does not seem like its a priority/ unwilling to medicate more
not fair to my mom who is bedridden and forced to endure ongoing disturbing cries for help seems to me a basic right to not be subjected to that but I dont see it written in patient rights
The facility has a rule that if you complain YOU have to be the one that has to move. I dont want to move my mom, the room is good. I am hoping the facility will move the new person, I will keep carefully asking.
it took me going through my mom being discharged from a previous facility to learn that I dont want that to happen again. It was very hard to find another. Nursing homes have waiting lists to get in. So I try to be so careful about confrontations with management. It is hard but I am trying to be very polite.
I also have seen over the years how medicines dont always work as well as you hope on different people. They dont want to/arent allowed by law to drug people to the point where they are sleeping all the time.
the right to a normal noise level is ambiguous wording, and not enforceable. The difference between a private room is hundreds of dollars more a day!
i pray my mom will pass in her sleep one day and be free of all this.
bless us all!
Much depends on your approach.
If you go begging and pleading and crying to the admins you have a MUCH BETTER CHANCE, in all truth. If you say "Please, this is months now. I understand all your limitations in dealing with this and you have my DEEPEST sympathy, but it's so bad I pray my mom will pass to be protected. I understand you can only do what you can do, but please, please please"....................you will have a better chance than demands. Because I agree with you that the answer will be "You would be happier somewhere else" which we can translate to "Get the heck out of Dodge if you don't like it".
I DO sympathize with their limitations. I see you do as well.
And yes, like so many more you will come to sign hugely with relief when your mom is finished with what now is really a crucible to live through, not real life.
I am so sorry.
I think you always understood there's really no way out of this.
I would go a begging, myself. I would try that and know I had tried it all.
There isn't any fix here. I say over and over this is a very imperfect world with end of life care.
