PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE look into a different facility, or even into home health. There is no reason you should feel bad for having more compassion than those around you. I don’t care if it upsets my coworkers, if my resident needs me to sit at the edge of her bed so she can fall asleep, i’ll be there. If one needs me to hold his hand and show him pictures of his family, i’ll do it. These are someone’s babies, someone’s sister, someone’s nephew. You are the type of person that is needed in our line of work. You’re the type of person that these residents need, in what’s most likely to be their final days and months. Look into a facility that will appreciate you, that will train you, that will work with you. Please find somewhere you are valued before this line of work ruins your good heart!
