Old People in Rest-Homes

[Kid Presentable]

They seem to get a raw deal. I was talking to this ex-nurse's aid, and she said the nurses (some of them, anyway) would scream at these old peeps from the second they opened their eyes. "Get up, you fucking old twit! Just because you can't stand up doesn't mean I'm going to break my back carrying you around!".

This girl I was chatting with used to wipe arses, and shower the oldies. She'd put the old nannas hair in rollers and shit. Pointless, but sweet. I mentioned to her that most of these nurses more than likely started out idealistic and 'caring' as well. One woman was shaking so violently, her face covered in tears, they had to tranquilise her to knock her out. It was her first day in a home. It must be like prison.

When my dad got really bad, they put him in a mental hospital. I hated visiting there, because I would always be on my own, and loonies would grab at me. Like in The Exorcist when Karras walks through the throng of mental patients. They would just come at me, one after the other. Some were women who would stroke my face and others were just old people crying.

So then the social workers were shopping around for rest-homes, and we found one. And every time I went there, there was a constant ghoulish wailing coming from this poor woman's room. People were just so infirm, it was literally a graveyard for the living. If it were possible, I'm sure most of them would have ended their lives. You can't foolishly hang on to something you no longer need. The nurses were always nice, but they could have been doing anything to these poor shits behind closed doors.

The upside is that it's probably going to happen to everyone here. Unless freak accidents or disease have their way. :)

sleeping pills

its not fair. those nurses and orderlies will have their day

[cookiepuss]

:( oh convelescent homes and the like just suck. my dad use to take me sometimes when he had so stop in a check on some patients. Even as a kid that place depressed the hell out of me. most of the people had no familes or thier familes had abandoned them. one old man kept asking me for a "bit" could he see that "bit" on the counter. I didn't understand and finally he said the taht bit like on a horses bridle. but it wasn't a bit at all it was the metal of a clipboard. I looked so sad when I showed him it was really a clipboard. dude. this make me sad just talking about it.


long before me my mom worked in a rest home also. one little old lady use to fold up her napkins and washcloths give them to my mom and ask her to mail them. she thought they were letters. my mom never told her otherwise. and she got in trouble for it because they said it was just encouraging her, but the woman cried and got upset when they told her they were only washcloths and my mom didn't think there was any need to upset her like that, when it was really no bother to take the napkins from her and say "sure I'll mail it sweetie". my mom didn't work there too long. she couldn't take it.

I fucking want someone to kill me if I ever have to go to a rest home. I'd rather be dead than in one of those places. and with thier permission i would give assisted suicide to any family member if they had no choice but to enter that kind of facility and didn't want to.

goddamn it who made this thread? I'm fucking depressed now!:mad:

Happy Gilmore's GrandMa was mistreated so it must be true.

i used to volunteer at a rest home for people with alzheimer's back in middle school. i remember one of the questions i asked the director was "so do they actually get treatment here, or do they just stay here until they die?" I didn't mean for it to come out so harsh when i started speaking, but it ended up that way

anyway that was place was nuts. one lady had to be tied down at night because they caught her walking around with a butcher knife.

i played alot of resident evil (1 or 2) at the time, and the whole place just reminded me of it, quite honestly. they were pretty much zombies that could talk, the worst of them. poor bastards. some people were still relatively coherent, like you could hold a conversation with them, but all you could do with alot of them was just smile and nod, because they didn't make any sense. one woman liked to tell me stories about her and my father. obviously you can't say "no, you never knew my father" for various reasons, so you just sort of have to sit there, patronizing them

[Kid Presentable]

Hopefully old age is similar to infancy, and you are only 'aware' in short, sporadic bursts.

[Bob]

thinking about that makes my head hurt. must be very weird, to have memories but not be able to remember them

[Kerrbear]

I think I'm gonna go eat a whole plateful of bacon and smoke a pack of unfiltered cigarettes.

[fucktopgirl]

i wander is there is like sex orgy in thoses places, I mean they still do have sexual desire, do they? If so, it must be really energetic and a lots of bones cracking.

"AIDS activists say that due to Viagra and similar drugs, older Americans are sexually active like never before. That's a message Saunders says she has the toughest time getting across to older men.

"If the man can drive at night, he's got a harem," says Saunders. "Probably couldn't get a date when he was 18 years old, and now he's the belle of the ball. 'Condo Cowboys' we call 'em."

I ate a whole pack of bacon yesterday, with 2 hash-browns, 15 mushrooms, a tomato and 2 eggs and toast. It was so good I wished I could have smoked a cigarrette afterwards.

I ate 30 Dim Sims once.

Zorra's told us all your best stories.

[Pres Zount]

I'm being senile.

[Kid Presentable]

I'm being senile.
Zorra told us that, too.

[Pres Zount]

Ok, but did she tell you about the time I ate 30 Dim sims and won a hundred dollars?

[Kid Presentable]

Ok, but did she tell you about the time I ate 30 Dim sims and won a hundred dollars?
You never knew my father.

hahaha

[Bob]

can you eat 50 eggs?

[Justin]

I get along with old people more so than younger people.

[Pres Zount]

In my day I could eat 50 eggs.

[Helvete]

What about fetuses?

[Bob]

i don't think fetuses should go to rest homes, glass jars work ok

[kate]

buttcheeks; parents work in a old persn home, and he said the old people are havin sex all the time. or maybe he said his parents are havin sex with the old peope all the time. even so, that doesnt soound so bad!

[Dr Deaf]

i'd rather die in a hail of bullets than be waiting to die in a crazy old rest home.

i almost worked at a nursing home. i pretended i was all cool with the tasks, but the smell of death and old people kinda burned my nose.

Whilst doing shifts for a nursing agency I got sent to literally hundreds of nursing homes all over the place, sometimes each week, each day, was a different one.

I'd say about 10% are so nice I'd like to live there now, 40% are OK places to live, 30% are miserable but scrape by legally, and the other 20% are just horrible.

On a cheery note, things like Alzheimer's probably won't exist when we're old, research into things like that and dementia is phenominal, and so we should be less doo-lally than the preceding generations.

However, we're more likely to have brain injuries based on the amount we drink and the chemicals we use, so do crosswords and sudoku and keep your brain sharp!

The biggest problem is funding for many people, more is generally spent on prisoners than it is the elderly, right down to the quality of food, and often that is the government's fault. So you may as well commit a huge crime as old age is approaching and while away your remaining years in the slammer.

I hear that the nurses use the patients for board games such as---connect the liver spots and solve the maze through the varicose veins. The whack a mole patient just had his stitches removed so he will be back in action next week.

my younger sister is a CNA at an assisted-living home. They really do get treated pretty badly, especially if the CNA's don't like them. She was telling me that another CNA there likes to tell one of the residents that her daughter's on the phone, (when she's really not) but she has to get to the phone really quick or she'll hang up!!! So of course the poor lady rushes as quickly as she can and there's never anyone there and she gets all upset and by the time she does it again she forgets what happened last time and never catches on. I went in there w/my sis a couple times and saw with my own eyes how they're treated. The CNA's don't seem to think of them as people, and their rationalization is "they won't remember this later on" or "they're mean to me, so I give it right back to them". Most people in these homes have alzheimers or dementia and can't be held responsible for their behavior. That's why they're there, they nor their families can take care of them. I don't think I could ever work as a CNA long enough to treat people like that.
