As soon as I hung up from Jammie I called the executive director over the Gahanna nursing home. I was transferred to his phone and its 7:50 am, he did not answer, but I left a lengthy message telling him about the staff making Jammie move from the window bed to the bed by the door. I told him the nurse had told her that a new resident was arriving today and so she had to move. Which she did move without help to the other side of the room. I told him that the nurses had retaliated against Jammie for my telling on them for not doing their jobs and making them clean her room from top to bottom. I also ask him since when did one resident have the power to come in and say move her because they want a want a certain bed? My daughter was there first and she should not have had to move. I also told him I wanted her put back in the same bed she was in and I would be in that afternoon to check on this situation. He must have listened to my message and immediately went and talked with jammie. As soon as he left her room she called me and told me he wanted to know who told her to move and there is no new resident coming in. He was going to investigate and she would be moved back by the window.
By the time, I got to the nursing home that afternoon they had moved all her things back to the other side of the room. I'm sure someone got in lots of trouble over this. I am Jammie's advocate and I will make sure no nursing home she is in will treat her with respect. I will not tolerate ignorance or retaliation of any kind towards her. I feel sorry for the residents that have no one to look after them to make sure they are treated with dignity and respect.
Jammie and I did leave the nursing home and shopped for her some personal hygiene items as what she had been given was like water instead of hair shampoo etc. Got Jammie a new outfit to wear when my sis and Jammie's cousin comes tomorrow ( Friday) to see her. I know she will feel more comfortable because these clothes fit her nicely.
We then went to Starbucks where we sat outside and got drank some iced coffee drinks and I had some great tasting pumpkin bread......jammie had a blueberry muffin. I told her about Adult Make A Wish Foundation and I would fill out the paperwork. I just needed to know where it is she would like to go. She decided she wanted to go to Myrtle Beach. I love every minute I get to spend with my beautiful daughter jammie. Even if she doesn't get to be out in the Sun on the beach, she will still be able to sit on a balcony and listen to the beautiful sound of the ocean, and go out on the beach early in the morning to see the sunrise. That evening she can go out and watch the Sun go down. I hope her wish comes true.
