Daughter shocked over Christmas meal served at father's nursing home

I haven't had much experience with then. I remember when mom went into one because her heath made it hard for her daughters to care for her that she was being billed (her pension was) for a room as soon as she was on a waiting list, I found that to be somewhat goulish but since it was her body that was frail and not her mind she did interact just fine with the staff and other patients.
We'll not cover when she got pissed at the staff and accused them of trying to kill her, the staff was kind and using the 'off her rocker' thing but a few days off the meds they had her on saw her get that clarity back. Quietest I ever saw the nurses, lol (she was sensitive to drugs thanks to the 1918 flu so child doses were the strongest she could take. We'll also leave the ativan cure for that ailment for another time but it does show the staff taking over areas where they should be listening instead of talking.
Due to good "nutrition" and healthy choices people are living longer and healthier and having a fine old time in some of these residences...some are quite beautiful with full chefs, pools, trips, everything one could hope for...super active life styles..then the nursing home is the last home for some and they do well there too but need more supervision...we can't let these places go to hell just because seniors are on the vulnerable list along with children and animals...
bologna on a menu plan...their menu plan is about to pick up....count on it
Get one for a prison in Canada to use as a comparison. Is the menu as big an issue as where they do their shopping? As soon as we found out cooking in aluminum pots caused Alzheimer's we stopped using them but we sold more in 3rd world countries so production didn't stop, what stopped was caring about who it hurt after a certain level.
In the diet wars crops are where you make or break it, withe terminator seeds there just wouldn't be anything to put on a plate for patient or staff. When that is by design it doesn't get much darker than that.
I'm afraid that what you see there might fit a pattern of something being done in a fashion that makes it an unpleasant chore to begin with and then it has to be done as cheaply as possible when the 'solution' is a slight alteration to an existing structure. Combine the old folks places with the orphanages and elementary schools as being a single unit where you come for visits and the elderly have lots of children running around on the weekends but during the week when 'classes' are held it includes children from the community. Children are also more vocal about things they like and don't like.
I've hundreds of RQHD meals. The hospital cafeterias make the best liver and onions I've ever had. This was the first year in ages that my wife didn't work Christmas and I didn't have their turkey dinner which is very good by the way.
he may need too much care
they may have been working
lots of valid reasons....
I couldn't have taken my mum home by the time she reached a nursing home and she would not have wanted to leave her home...it was a known and a safety thing for her.
:tongue5: when they are good and ready Ebenezer and give them a decent god dammed meal three times a day in the mean time
I agree with "lots of valid reason" - and my parents aren't far from the Home either. The heavy meal at noon and a light meal before bedtime saves on a lot of wake-up calls for toiletting and changing bedding. A salad (with something green in it) may have been a better choice than bologna - easier on the tummy too
So, we assume that there are no seniors at that particular home capable of complaining? And just one mouthy child?
if someone else is cooking, I ain't complaining
worst and most expensive for nothing food I've had though is in hospital cafeterias this year
I try to go to Tims when at the hosptial
now growing up, I was a tray girl and worked in a hospital kitchen from 15 until right through high school
best damn food ever in those days...one of my girlfriend's dad was a chef and he worked there...omg...those were the days when hospital food was actually made on site...omg...amazing food with real gravy...the smells that came out of that kitchen
now the grossest job was called stripping...omg...make ya wanna puke when you first started...so the food wagons came back down to the kitchen and were wheeled into the area that had massive dishwashers...we took the trays out...stripped everything off of the plates into the garbage..then they went to Big John the dishwasher who would pile them into special compartments and then throw them into dishwasher which was on a moving track...
omg in the summer talk about heat...if you were on receiving you stood at the end of the dishwasher stacking them and running them back to where they were stored for the next meal...hot, hot, hot...on the hands man
we had some fun at that job...wow...the good old days.
saw some interesting things come back on those food trays...yes we did
