What Do I Do In This Situation...by Celtic princess

  Author:  4995  Category:(Discussion) Created:(8/19/2024 2:06:00 AM)
This post has been Viewed (201 times)

The assisted living facility where I work as a housekeeper has a COVID outbreak in the dementia ward. We are required to wear masks. No one's tested us. They are allowing the infected residents to walk around, unmasked, wandering in and out of other's rooms,no quarantine whatsoever. The infected residents even sit down and eat with the others.When I asked the nurses about it, I was shushed up and they walk away. I'm not sure what to do or if I should tell the health department

Give a call to a reliable, apolitical, government agency.
It sounds like your employer is underfunded and won't take
steps to contain the outbreak because they just can't afford
to or the stockholders don't want to take a hit.

Your health is as much at stake as those seniors that have been
entrusted to the care of the facility you work for.

  
Date: 8/19/2024 12:58:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Celtic Princess Well, first thing to do is protect yourself. I mean, "they" can say what they want, but you come first. Then, I suppose, you'll have to decide whether, or not, to to take it any further. Take care of you and write on....  
Date: 8/19/2024 5:11:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    What is that "to to" thing???

kronk---It's a typo, dog.

"L.D."---Yeah, well don't do that.

kronk---Ugh!
  
Date: 8/22/2024 8:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 63962    well it definitely sounds like you should tell SOMEBODY. Who that somebody is, I'm not sure. Only idea that comes to me is to give an anonymous "report" to whoever the higher up administration is of the facility, the headquarters as it were. Ideally they are off -site.  
Date: 8/26/2024 10:38:00 AM  From Authorid: 40979    Maybe reach out to your local health department? The CDC has updated their quarantine guidelines...Now they say you can return to normal activities after you've been fever free for 24 hours and have no new symptoms. This could be the reason why they are not quarantining any of your residents. However, they should still be requiring your residents to mask up *common sense*. I also work in an assisted living facility. Although the CDC has changed their guidelines, my company has not. They still require Covid positive employees to quarantine at home for a minimum of 5 days, but masks are optional once the employee has returned to work. As far as residents go, we have not had any residents test positive since January, but I am assuming the guidelines will be the same for our residents as they are for the employees. If I were you, I would definitely mask up and keep some hand sanitizer with you. I hope the health department can give you some better answers.

Date: 9/3/2024 9:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 67845    Honestly, due to the risk that COVID-19 can have on the human body, up to and including death, I would say something to the health department. Though Covid-19 is considered "old news" it still can take lives, especially those of already compromised immune systems such as those who live in an assisted living facility or retirement home. Best of luck, and realistically do what you feel is right. ~Juniper
Date: 10/9/2024 11:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 48250    Hi CP, great to see You——-I would definitely take measures to Protect Yourself——and clearly the assisted living facility is recklessly & negligently ignoring the residents health & well being including their employees———That’s a Huge Violation——I would make that call, anonymous if necessary——Best Wishes!…..T/C
