PERSONAL CARE "AID". She gave it up all the way.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

2 hrs
What's on my mind, Facebook? A whole lot. This morning started out great with my first client. She was awesome and I love her to pieces. All 95 years old of her. The second one. The one all the aids that go to her hate, I can understand why. Then trying to leave her place since I was already past my time, I was then late picking up DD from school (my late, not their late) and late dropping her off at the sitters, then late for my Monday afternoon client. Lucky for me, she didn't mind and still tried to kick me out before I'm supposed to be out of there. She always is. lol! Now, waiting on dinner to cook, and later a doctors appointment for me for my lovely asthma. Oh, and all because of that stuff, I yet again forgot to call the doctor's office for DS to get him a new script for him for his meds. And when I remembered it was 20 minutes too late.

Usual Enabler: The one no one likes. Lol. I thought my mother-in-law was gone.
Boring: This woman thinks we are nurses aids and we aren't we are just personal care aids. Mostly housework and help with bathing and things like that, but she wants someone who can do what CNA's or nurses do as we just don't.
UE: I have them calling wanting to send a nurse. I keep telling them no
Boring: Well, a nurse is what this lady needs, I think. That's just my opinion. This woman insisted our company was sending the wrong people because all we do is come in and clean. But then that's mainly what we are for. None of us are certified for anything. Then she cried about probably having to go in a home because of how she was. Then she was telling me how all the other aids were stealing from her. Which in turn makes it so I have to go in and let the people in the office know what she is saying. And deal with all that. Couldn't do it today since the office calls at 4 and my last client was finished with me at 4:15. Well, supposed to be. She tries to kick me out at 4. She forgets because I come at 2:15 I need to stay until 4:15. Only because of having to pick up DD and dropping her off at the sitter.
UE: My mother in law always thought people were stealing from her too. Plus she was so mean. Couldn't keep people working there.
Boring: This one is the same for the most part. More like she will call for them to send in a nurses aids, so she is looking for a CNA, which we are not but that's what she wants us to be. And when I couldn't find things she needed like the padding for her bed and some other bedding she said she had. That's what she says they stole from her. That and perfume. How one of us could walk out the door with bedding when the laundry room is in her bathroom and they would have to walk past her to go out with it. I don't know how they would steal from her.
Boring: She is one I can never go to again. Nope. I've gotten lucky with my 3 regular ones so far. I was to have 4 but the newest one decided she prefer another aid so I don't have her anymore. But that's okay. I know I didn't do anything wrong.
Boring: Just her preferring someone else being there and being comfortable with her.



Bitch.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

(By 'bitch', I'm referring to Boring, btw. Not the poor old lady.)

[elleblue]

I feel bad for the old lady no one likes.

[gault]

I wonder if she performs homemaker services instead of what she thinks she does. Has she posted about her training at all?

[WOT?*]

If my dad's PCA did this, there would be hell to pay, and a PCA fired with a pretty piss poor recommendation.
I feel sorry for the lady nobody likes. There's generally a reason.

[zitiqueen]

I don't know how sorry I feel for the mean old lady that no one likes because she sounds like my grandma. She hated any PCAs or nurses she had because they were colored and she just knew they were all stealing from her. When she finally had to stop living on her own, my cousin suggested she donate her old clothes to charity, but again, Grandma didn't want to because she was afraid colored people would get them. Cousin played the WWJD card and she finally relented. And seriously, nobody would want these clothes. Think double-knit polyester and the types of dresses and smocks that old ladies in the 60s and 70s all wore. Truly hideous, but long-lasting, I'll give them that.

Grandma was a peach. A big, racist peach.

[bittybomb]

Eww.  She fucking sucks.

[Deleted]

So, she's boring and a total bitch? Ugh.

[Champagne Supernova]

OMFG, I hate her. What a bitch.

[marylennox]

Ugh. I hate this chick. I honestly would have to hide or unfriend.

[nicbreeful]

I kinda want you to say something passive aggressive on her status about talking about clients on social media.

[Aquatica]

This is really sad. I understand you're not going to like all your clients but it feels like the staff is not listening to gma requests or observing that their service isn't what gma needs.

Maybe I'm just feeling really sensitive because this hits a bit close to home (my grandma is dying and all my aunts are rotating in home care for her because she doesn't want strangers in her house and wants to die in her house). So I'm looking at the gma client in the same light.

[malibu]

Ish. Usually I laugh at her long winded stories, but this makes me pissy. What a bitch.

[Deleted]

As someone who works in the aging admin of my state DSHS this makes me sad and angry.
