I said no and got stuck with it anyway. You just can’t turn your
back on the residents. They know you’re not going to just ignore
the residents; it’s not in your character.
No doesn’t really mean no, though I think I’ll mean it more
next time. I believe in what we do and that assisted living is the
best thing to come down the pike in a long time.
I think that in health care, they’re always looking to ask you to
do more, because the professionals don’t want to jeopardize the care
of the people you’re taking care of.
I’m not bitter, but I am frustrated. The executive directors generally are businesspeople, not health care people. They’re held
accountable for revenue and earnings, and we’re held accountable
for occupancy as well as health care. Ours don’t conflict, because if
we find someone who needs assisted living rather than a nursing
home, you really are providing a better quality of life.
During my summer vacation, I was temporarily replaced by
two nurses from another assisted-living center that is part of the
company. After vacation, there will be a lot to catch up on. I like
the work that I do, but things could be a lot better, such as paying
people for what they’re worth when they can afford it. Still, I can’t
do both jobs well for months at a time.
I used to love going to work every day. Now, I walk in and
know there will be chaos until I walk out the door. There is way
too much stress. You really have to fight for your personal life.
