If I may? As a person who survived strokes and carotid surgeries allow me to tell you that saying something because you care is appreciated by the caregiver and the srickened individual both. I remember how hard my wife worked to take care of me and help me heal, plus work her job. Thanks to some very wonderful friends who helped her take care of me we made it through. People showing physical signs of strokes can still be mentally active even if there is a shortcut in the thought process. I still have words which I can see in my head as if through a tunnel - but there is no way I can get them to come out of that tunnel and I learned to quickly use alternatives when it happens.
Although for a short time I was incapable of certain abilities I was aware of the shortcomings - and of people's reactions. I felt the frustration, the anger at my inabilties, and the determination to overcome them, as well as a confusion - but none of this was I able to communicate to some stranger who would speak to me in a loud tone of voice as if I was hard of hearing.

I TOTALLY AGREE and yes caps is yelling you put it in a nutshel. I see a man at the chiropractor taking timewaiting for the appointment wiping his wifes mouth from drool because she has had a stroke and MY HEART pours out to what a dedicated husband he is and I want to speak with him but I dont feel I should. BUT 2 years ago I could because thats what managers that cared did BUT NOT NOW I miss that old Holiday touch. I really do but from the way things are going I am glad I got out 1 1/2yrs ago. But man I miss the elderly sorry to say their loss but ALSO mine

After reading the post by "anonymous from the midwest" I have to say that I read it several times and still do not understand what they are trying to say. My information was only directed about the current Regional Director in the area, not "all" employees in the midwest. After all I still have many friends in the midwest region. So unless you are the RD in the midwest don't take offense to the info.

Remember what I said: people who manage money, cannot and should not, manage people. It's a whole different game, and the players are not interchangeable.
It's so sad. Being sent away from your residents is like having your children taken away from you. I am still grieving the loss.

sheema! All I can tell you is go for it!!! Like we all did with our hearts filled with THE TOUCH!
After you BRAIN is fried from working your A** off and having your life sucked right out of you, and you run your mouth with that attitude to Managers, Staff and Residents then just try to tell us how much we suck!!! That if you have the balls TOO!!!! Oh! I forgot you are the one that will do what ever it takes to make it work "just like we all said when we started"
NO! Good Luck to You! You will need it...
