#agedcarefacility — Public Fediverse posts

#Perth #Australia
Public holiday and it seems that the holiday mansions down at #MargaretRiver aren't vacuuming eveyone one up.

Shopping mall, lynchpin of retail in the #GoldenTriangle, is crowded, coffes, shoppers, gawkers.

Not a mask in sight.

Top of line #AgedCareFacility nearby has no #RatTesting. Other overlooking ocean has testing but allows testers to mingle in a crowded foyer.

Dentist two doors up from another ACF is masking - surgical masks.

Set for a spike.

I think we're seeing this in action around the use of filters worn over the open ends of the human respiratory system.

The health care clinic I attended yesterday had all staff using filters. But not of the sort consistent with the physics and engineering of filtering airborne particles.

Two doors up from an #AgedCareFacility.
With sharply rising levels of highly infectious airborne particles reasonably concluded from data showing increasing infection numbers.

#AgedCareDecisions

I'm off to inspect a room in an aged care facility possibly for an #ElderlyRelative.

And I get to ask questions.

Please tell me what questions you'd ask.
Even questions you might think of avoiding asking.

I'll be Replying to this toot with some of the #AgedCareQuestions I come up with too.

(This #AgedCareFacility / #NursingHome is in #Australia. The standard of care here is much lower than the USA AIUI.)

When I first spent time caring in a nursing home I learnt and was advised to steer clear of the term "babies" for the severely demented.

Years later I spent time with a brain-injured elderly person in a locked ward.
I think #FluidRestrictions for all detainees may have been in place as a way to save on the costs of supplying and changing continence aids.
Think?
I can see the potential for big cost savings and have no confidence that the #AgedCareCompany would not. #AgedCareFacility #NursingHome
