The private nursing homes ought to be held accountable for the endless lift-assist calls, and start hiring competent staff, and paying their staff livable wages to do their jobs. Such a waste of resources. I've heard some fire departments have started charging for lift calls. Sounds like a swell idea.
Yes fuck Athena Healthcare and you’re “award winning” facility in my city that we go to 3-5 calls a day, the award must be for the least urine smelling and most useless staff.
I honestly feel for the residents there, my uncle had my grandfather in there when he started going and I was like…get him TF out of there, my father in law was in there too for a time before he passed and he was a retired FF from the same department. Back when I got on it was a nursing home, now it’s an anyone with $$ facility of all ages. I’ve even had a guy I went to high school with as a patient. The place sucks so bad.
