宗教团体开辦安老院目的何在？ 宗教, 团体

CWong

同事今天到一家本地華人宗教团体开辦的安老院XX頤康院探望一位老人家，那位老人家行动不便，不能独自到樓下飯堂吃飯，必須依靠別人以輪椅推他到飯堂或是把食物送到房間，那位老人家才能用餐，但他的家人指出，安老院除了收取高昂月费外，还會收取其他額外小費，而那些小費却是很離譜的，如須要員工推个老人家落樓下用餐則每次收费五元，若單單送餐到房間則每次收兩个半，老人家晚上要主动预先要求員工预備一杯水才有水飲，否則漫漫長夜是沒有人理的。
不知有沒有LYK的親人曾经遇上同样事情？若上述所言是真確，我則对那个口口声声以愛為本的宗教团体感到失望！

有兩個可能
1) 個founder可能真係有甘既愛心﹐ 但佢班管理曾&馬仔就只係睇錢做人
2) XX頤康院上上下下都係以宗教黎掛羊頭賣狗肉

我自己都有在其他老人院VOLUNTEER過.不是華人開的. 有次見到個ON WHEEL CHAIR 的老人家想去方便, 想叫個NURSE 幫她. 老人家不懂英文，　只可以在ＢＥＤＲＯＯＭ　門口用中文大叫。　我咪同個ＮＵＲＳＥ　說那婆婆好急，　要而家去。　個ＮＵＲＳＥ聽了之後說時間到的話就去，　ＴＨＥＮ　ＣＯＮＴＩＮＵＥ　ＴＯ　ＣＨＩＴ　ＣＨＡＴ WITH OTHER　ＮＵＲＳＥＳ。　我入了婆婆ＢＥＤＲＯＯＭ的洗手間看ＳＣＨＥＤＵＬＥ，跟本就夠曬鐘。　Ｄ　ＮＵＲＳＥ　跟本係掛住ＣＨＩＴ　ＣＨＡＴ　忘了婆婆的方便時間。　我就同個ＮＵＲＳＥ　說夠曬鐘了，　婆婆ＲＥＡＬＬＹ　ＮＥＥＤＳ　ＹＯＵＲ　ＨＥＬＰ。　個ＮＵＲＳＥ先慢慢去婆婆ＢＥＤＲＯＯＭ。

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"...

I have a family member who lives in a senior home, not the one you mentioned here though...the generally impression is that nobody will get "enough" care, they just get "adequate" service....and the price is not cheap!  Even after a lot of gov't subsidization, it still cost us a lot of money per month!

公營机構未必提供理想服務质素一向都知，但私營机構收費已比公營机構高，服務质素理应較好才是，但連要推一下个老人家去用膳也不行，那怎算是真心為公众服務？公營安老院啲員工係籁散，但還没有像那宗教团体辦的安老院過份，样样都計錢！

oh by the way I just found out the  頤康 in Toronto & Vancouver are 2 diff organizations!
so they're NOt related at all!
