Nursing Home Frustrations - Update

Just an update to those who've joined this discussion. Today I showed up at the nursing home first to purchase a ticket for this client's wife so that she could join him for the Seder dinner, then visited the Social Worker who was very conciliatory about not informing me last week to the care plan meeting. I quickly informed her that the daughter also never received the invitation as the social worker stated. Her face was rather red and said it would never happen again. She took my card and stapled it to her private files and was actually very nice to me. I then visited my client while he was having lunch and asked his permission to decorate his room which I did with memories of his den at home and lots of nicely framed photos of his family. I can't tell you how good that made me feel when he saw his room. He is one of the few remaining holocaust survivors left in long term care and I am so pleased to have honored him today during his holiday. He is so excited about having his wife present at the Passover Seder tonight. I decided to wait and see what happens in three months when the next care plan conference is scheduled. If I don't get invited, I will call the Ombudsmen's office.
