my fd works in 頤康 full time but the one in toronto... he said it's very tiring & frustrating work since the founder just doesn't hire enough ppl to do all the works... just no time to "snake" ...
according to him, most chinese seniors really dislike living in 安老院.. they still have the thought that living in 安老院 is = abandoned by their family / son / daughter. So they'r more likely to act like a child (like, pretend to be sick just to make their daughter & son to come to visit them more often; if u don't call my daughter to here to see me I refuse to take the medicine / eat ... ). Then if some of them dont' get what they want, they just blame the staffs working there & get their frustration to the others....
I know it sounds really weird & awful, but that's the truth. I sorta understand why those seniors are acting like this, but still, it doesn't help with the situation. In order to solve the problems, I think it comes back to the family of the seniors, who should do their best to visit them more & make them more happy.. not just having a feeling of "waiting to die"... |
