Even in the nicest places the care-givers that want to be there are almost never actually providing the care. The people you're left with treat your relative with the respect of a burger and fries. In the end, the squeeky wheel gets the grease: if the CNAs know you're going to raise holy hell if they cut corners, they won't cut corners; at least that's been my experience. That's been the same across: 4 upscale "communities" in Dallas, 1 country assitance home in southern Illinois, and 3 in Minnesota: 1 upscale, 1 medium, 1 county. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:151724 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
