I am a resident at TWU. I was delivering donations to the TWU Food Pantry in Old Main and it was pouring rain. I thought that the gray/black paint on the curb means all parking permits are allowed. I found an open spot near Old Main and was able to easily cart the two rolling cases of canned foods up the circle. I was issued the traffic violation notice at 11:23.…

Providing home-delivered meals is an excellent way to provide savings to the government’s current Medicaid programs.…
Follow up First off we will encourage residents and family members alike to share their concerns and complaints in open forum. This will create an open door approach, which will allow residents and families to feel more at ease when any concerns arise in the status of care (National Center For Assisted Living/NCAL, 2005). The step in the process is to reach out to both the resident and the family and apologies for any discomfort the situation has caused. Provide empathy for their distress and reassure them you have heard their complaint.…

Delving deeper into the staff issues I asked my grandmother to describe if she has experienced any issues with response to call lights as my mother described earlier. My grandmother began her response to this question by stating that within this facility most problems are related to one another. As a result of this cycle, since the facility is so understaffed the response to calls is awful. The maximum time that is allotted to the staff to respond to a call is 8-10 minutes however, my grandmother frequently is forced to wait up to 35 minutes to be assisted. In addition, because the staff is overworked from being understaffed they are oftentimes rude and reluctant to help when they arrive.…
I think it is really important that everyone be as supportive as they can to the elderly people around us. As a granddaughter I find it essential to spend time with my grandma and help her as much as I can. My grandpa died in 2007 so she is very lonely. My grandma refuses to drive because her husband died in a car accident. Therefore, she has to stay at home majority of the time unless someone is able to take her somewhere.…
