Personal knowledge
of patients missing
Dear Editor,
I agree with Ray Cerniuk and his
opinion article entitled ‘I must agree
and disagree’, pg. 6, Dec. 3, 2020, when
it comes to the care in senior living
homes, that we need to follow the
money.
These seniors all pay for their care
and it’s something like the ‘WE’
scandal.
The government is going to give
money to upgrade these places but you
can bet little will go to improve conditions,
instead going into the pockets of
investors and CEO’s.
I also worked in one in the past.
These workers do their very best and
they certainly earn their wages.
It’s not unusual for one person to be
on one unit of 30+ patients with the
second person responsible for giving
out pills on two units with that same
person suppose to be the helping hand
on both units. But try to find them
when they are needed!
Food was really good before it was
let out to other companies. The same
with laundry that goes to a service but
you have no idea how much of the
senior’s clothing gets lost when it gets
mixed with bedding.

columns
spot-on!
Dear Editor,
Hello there!
For some time now I’ve appreciated
your newspaper so much especially a
couple columnists, Brenda Schimke
and Herman Schwenk.
They are both
thought-provoking
and
fair-minded and
trustworthy.
Even though I
don’t always
agree with some
of their opinions,
for the most part,
I find them
“spot-on”!!
Thank you, you
two. Your thorough
research
shows!! Keep up
the good work!!
So I’m subscribing
for the
first time because
all of you work
hard. It shows
and you deserve
to stay in business,
especially
in these tough
times. Thank
you.

These laundry companies, when
they are doing it for so many homes,
have no idea who it belongs to, thus the
lost clothing ends up in used clothing
stores.
The place I worked was very good
because it was before things were put
up for bids and most of the people
working there knew and cared for the
residents. When they started making
these homes so large they no longer
had any personal friendly knowledge
of the patients.
We could say our schools are an
example of the same kind of problems
as they went from community schools
to big mega schools where they have
massive problems with drugs and
bullying.
In the smaller schools these things
were cleaned up at the community
level. The same with the seniors care.
Massive government care just
doesn’t work. All it does is waste
money in big salaries.
