Continuing saga. Mom is out of hospital, but not out of the woods.
After 8 days in the hospital Mother was discharged to return to The Peninsula. I was reluctant to take her back there as I'm still convinced that their negligence put her in the hospital in the first place. we had no alternative but to take her home. I've been watching and observing. I've been in touch with management and Head Office. They seem to want to hang me out to dry. Typical. until I get a meeting with all parties concerned I'm stepping up my smear campaign. The Avenir Company claims the person responsible is out of the office for a week. Is he the only employee? Hanging me out to dry in the rain only makes me wetter. Maybe it was a flu virus that was floating around. Maybe it was food poisoning. Maybe it was both. Mother gets a flu virus and ingests some questionable food that almost kills her. The fact that I got sick a day after eating the same food as mother makes me believe that is the prognosis. Tests are still pending from the hospital labs. Results any day now. All that aside.... Avenir gives themselves a 5 star rating resort like retirement home on their website. What 5 star hotel, resort or restaurant serves such awful food? What 5 star establishment shows such contempt for their patrons. Avenir does not have any "Stars" More importantly what son, daughter. family member would sit by and let these unscrupulous operators take Mother for granted? I feel very uncomfortable leaving Mother at the mercy of these snakes. She doesn't want to move again.I think a change in management and a terse reminder that our elders are a prized commodity and not to be taken advantage of by greedy, self serving corporate entities. I'm really surprised that response is so pitiful on such an important issue. Am I wrong in my belief that we all love our Ancestors, Parents and Grand parents. C'mom help me out here people. get some input. Good or bad it's all good.
