Over the past two weeks I couldn't figure out why at night the retirement home hot water was not working .
I spoke with the afternoon shift PSWs and they claimed they had to clue as to why.
Sensing bullshit, I waited for midnight shift changes over several nights and began talking with nursing staff during the middle of the night..
They said they were troubled because they couldn't clean up ill residents with warm water after 9:00 pm.
Imagine late at night having severe intestinal flu and needing a shower, or at the very least warm soap and water to clean up , while waiting as your bedding is changed and having to wait until 6:00 a.m smelling like feces. (not me, others)
Today management and I had words...yet AGAIN!
I mentioned it was quite interesting that immediately after the owners bought another retirement residence our hot water was restricted, and this could be the reason why the flu is ripping through the home...unsanitary conditions, especially since they wash soiled bedding during the middle of the night..
I was assured the hot water settings would immediately be reconfigured to run 24/7.
This is not the first time I "caused problems" for management and I may need a place to stay when they get fed up with my big mouth... 🤔
🤦♀️
