my wife is the registered manager of a care home in the UK ( 20 residents ) its a nice easy job--except for the staff, many of which are worse than useless.
yesterday, the night shift senior phone my wife at home to say she wouldnt be able to work last night--because she had a headache! a lot of phone calls to find a stand in --as usual--produced nothing. so my wife did the wakeful night herself--again.
but here comes the farce. the night junior called her--offering the services of her sister as a stand in---untrained--no experience--cash in hand as she was on the 80% furlough.
last weekend--a mighty row blew up in the home--the day senior found out the cleaner / junior night carer was doing hairdressing at home for paying customers--because SHE NEEDED THE MONEY. just how do you educate pork like these about personal safety and the spread of viral diseases ?. need less to say my wife ended up doing the night last weekend too.
as UK care homes are in lock down--no visitors allowed, how do you think the virus gets in ? all care staff must be tested NOW.
