Hello again'
So I took some allergy medicine and this helped me out greatly, when I was getting mom ready for bed. No where near as bad as the last week. The flowers are still going strong.
So I forgot to mention the very first thing I do when I arrive at mom's place is go into her room, turn down the bed. Move the bed over and bring the lift over, to put mom to bed.
I will be mentioning this. If it were not for me, mom would not have any clothing. Or the replacement clothing I have to keep buying, because my sister's keep taking mom's clothing. I search all over the place for the best deal on quality clothing for mom. I refuse to buy her junk. And I search for sale prices.
If it were not for me mom would not get nutritious foods, smoothies, fresh fruit, the drinks she loves. I, again, search out the best deals on everything I get for her. I carry 2 six packs of coke home, in a bag. Plus the two other bags I carry everyday. These six packs are very heavy.
If it were not for me, mom would not have a daily spa treatment. A massage, daily, lotions applied daily.
If it were not for me, who would fight for mom's rights. To stop the abuse that our seniors go through. Yes I deal with mom's issues. But this is for all of the seniors. If I stop something, maybe another child will see this and stand up to these institutions that warehouse our loved one's and abuse them freely, without any consequences to their actions.
This is one of the main reasons for me to be in White Rock. I will be their and things will be drastically different. I will stop every and all abuse my mother goes through. One her roommate and the TV being on all night and loud. The lights being on all the time. And mom having to sit in her own filth for hours on end and then she gets a rash. And they go, your mom has a rash. Really. Again, would you let a baby sit in its own filth for any length of time, then why would one let a senior sit in their filth for even an hour.
And this place has this policy, that they make threats to anyone who dare to question their actions. They tell the children of their parents that if they want to continue to be part of their loved one's care, they will do what they say. Or they will be banned from coming to see their loved one's. This is exactly what they do.
And it is time this stops. They need someone to stop this and that person is me. I will stand up to anyone who thinks they will get away with abusing my mother.
This is why it is so important to move to White Rock and do this now.
I won't deal with the staff their. I will go way above their heads. This is the way I have always done things. The trickle down effect. Start at the top. You will get things down this way.
Fraser health has a complaint department, which from what I understand takes complaints seriously.
I write everything down. I take notes and I write this blog and write what is going on, on here.
Tonight mom was very tired, as the roommate kept mom awake last night. Constantly calling the staff, having hallucinations. Keeping mom awake. And they do nothing about it.
Even though, when she moved in with mom, it was not even two weeks late that I complained about what was happening and what was going to happen. And the staff are always telling me, your mom is so tired. REALLY! I asked them to move this roommate, nothing has been done about it and it has been since last November. This is the kind of treatment the residents get. Nothing. ABUSE!
OK I will stop now, I need to find this email of someone who wrote me, letting me know of a place where I can call and be able to pick out what I need for furniture and kitchen wares. And everything else. For free. It is time I start getting what I need. As I need everything, because I have nothing. No furniture at all.
I see an advocate this week and the first thing I am going to ask is about the rental supplement program, for low income individuals, as myself. Poor people, as myself. Destitute as I have been called.
GOD bless and good night
