is it only you and her and how many do you look after,,,in our facility we have 5 areas and i am able to coordinate my area with all ideas and entertainment. We come together monthly and have activity meetings where we share and input ...Have you suggested this to her like you should have meetings that way you can work out a monthly plan of activities...and a meeting is exactly that to assist and bring new ideas. approach her quietly and say that your not feeling valued ....and that you have so much to offer i would go further if this doesnt succeed..She seems to be very narrow minded and is not giving the residents their fullest opportunity to have a enhanced lifestly programme...good luck

Thanks for your support Kareen. We are only a small facility just the 2 of us in Lifestyle. I have spoken to our Hostel Co-Ordinator and the Senior Nurse, and have received positives from both of them. The Hostel Co-Ord is looking into it and will be speaking to my co-ordinator. If the situation does not change in the very near future I will be taking it further. I am aware that some of the behaviour is bullying and I am keeping notes on this.

good Luck Leah...Glad that you have put in some ideas to others workers and yes it most definitely is a form of bullying,and it should not be tolerated ...Be empowered Leah and know that you are valued :-)
