When a person is in the nursing home young or old they want it to feel somewhat like home. Jammie from day one of her arrival said she doesn't want to spend her entire time in bed and wanted a recliner for her room.
Marlon and I spent a day shopping around for the best deal. After sending pictures to Jammie of the ones we found for her it was decided the best deal was at Lazy Boy for $399. Today is 8/18/15 and we have directions in hand and ready to go pick up the recliner and take to Jammie. This van is already coming in handy.
Marlon drove us to The Rehabilitation & Health Center of Gahanna so we could take Jamster the recliner she has so desperately wanted. As we walked down the halls to get to her room the urine smell was so strong. I thought I was going to gag. Arrived at her room and told her we had her recliner and Marlon went out to get it while Jammie and I prepared the room for the additional chair. I went and found a broom and a dustpan so I could sweep her floors. Tried to find a mop but couldn't find one the floors are so sticky and need to be mopped so bad. Turned on the light above her bed and dust flew out from under the light. My daughter has a lung disease and I'm sure it makes it even harder for her to breath with all the dust in there. She is already on oxygen. Marlon and some lady had a cart and brought her recliner in. Marlon put the back on it and Jamster sat down and got this big grin on her face. Boy, I love to see her smile like that.
Her room still needed something to make it feel like home. We decided on getting a new comforter set for her bed. Jamster was happy to be leaving the nursing home and get out and shop some. We put the wheel chair in the van and oxygen in the van and headed to Bed Bath And Beyond.
Just so happen Marlon found this area that had lots and lots of marked down clearance items. We ended up getting her a 8 piece comforter set for $13 and was originally $100. Since we saved so much we got a set of flannel sheet on sale and discounted down to $10. The deals were so good we ended up buying a comforter set for our guest room original price $250 paid $ 25. Fill blessed that we found such wonderful deals.
It's lunch time and we decided to go have an Arby's sandwich and, of course, some good curly fries all of our favorites.
Jammie loves all her new things which makes her room seem like it's so much bigger and not so dark and dreary.

I had made my daughter a blanket and when it was bedtime she laid on top of the bed and used that blanket to cover up with. We came 2 days later and decided to make the room look more like home so we took her to get new bedding. When we returned and moved the furniture the floors were dirty and when I pulled the chain to turn on the light above her bed and dust came flying out. I removed the worn out comforter from the bed and OMG a big pad that they put under residents was there with dried blood all over it and there was no sheet on the bed just a flat sheet and that pad...I was so discussed with this. I took it up and told the people at the front desk. They just took the bed pad. Before I left I told them I wanted to fill out a complaint and instead they directed me to talk with the maybe it was the head nurse? They knew she was coming and they could have at least given my daughter a clean bed to die it. They did not say they would do anything to correct this situation or even find out who didn't do their job. I even had to get the broom and dustpan and sweep the floor myself. I wanted to mop the floors and couldn't find a mop. Please investigate this place and get my daughter out of there and find her a decent place to die. No one should be at this place till they get some properly trained people and care about the people they are taking care of. Young Old it doesn't matter. Just because these people are on medicare doesn't mean they should get any less care than the ones who aren't. Please, dear God gets my daughter out of this place. It's no wonder there rating is 48 I think it should be less. They could have told me they would investigate and let me write up a complaint....I have sent this information to the Ohio Department of Aging.
