Support. Just about to start a new position (lifestyle coordinator), noticed today that staff member looked overwhelmed... lots of people in the room and no other staff around.
What strategies do other people use to make sure 1 staff member is not overloaded with residents and no care staff to assist during activity (toilet and also once activity is finished). Don’t want to go in guns blazing but really felt for assistant today (I was having induction tour) and also I have been there myself.. its too much.
You're quite the special angel here to assist everyone. It takes a special kind of person to deal with seniors - they are not given the respect or credit they so deserve to have lasted this long on this earth. To have witnessed such history is amazing. So many are forgotten about and I try everyday to share RAOKs (Random Acts of Kindness) with any person I see that could use it - thank you again for the great ideas which I hope to spread around the area to help make others know how special they are.
