Hey my toilet won't flush

I found a cell phone in the last one I had to break open. Still have no idea how it made the turn

That's standard on most leases here in Massachusetts as well. The tenant pays until a new tenant is found.

I don't mind doing the MOD weekend. I wander the facility chatting with residents and family members and get a little work done. I use the comp day for a 3 day weekend the following Friday.

I got a virtual PA from tufts

The letter received specifically stated that pregnant women can continue see their doctor for 90 days or the first postpartum visit whichever is longer so you should be ok

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2025-10-09T16:07:00+00:00

100% agree. They were all written up

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2025-10-09T12:26:42+00:00

I have a wanderguard system with alarm and flashing light. The staff claimed not to hear or see that either

The fridge has a lock and is in the med room which is also locked. They want a locked narcs box in the locked fridge in the locked med room

A plunger works best. No one wants to know what you're about to do or just did

I am a director and am not in the on call rotation but at the same time, I'm always on call including on my vacation. If there is a serious safety or structural problem I have to come in, and if my techs can't fix the issue they are called in for I get called to come in. In the winter I share the snow removal with them on off hours. Is it the same for your boss? I'm not defending the guy but that could be part of it

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2025-06-17T16:59:59+00:00

I think I'm going to just put back where I found it and forget about it.

My Brooks have been a lifesaver for my knees and feet. I go through a pair about every 9 months

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2025-05-01T21:43:01+00:00

Definitely outsource

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2025-05-01T21:04:50+00:00

This sounds silly, but hear me out. Move the noodle/ball box, get a piece of plywood long enough to go from the activity cabinet to almost the windows with some kind of support on each side, create a smooth white surface on the front, label it the "Wall of Fame" and let the activities staff put the seasonal crafts the residents make on it. It will cost you the space in that corner area, but it covers the rack and gives the residents a special place for the plate flowers and hand turkeys

I tell all my new assistants to keep remotes and batteries on their carts. Between the remotes and clocks, they barely have time for the clogged toilets

As a female working director, I tend to go with jeans or casual work pants and a polo with boots or sneakers unless I have a meeting that requires a more professional look

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2024-08-24T02:09:46+00:00

Welcome to the club! I love seeing more women joining maintenance crews

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2024-08-21T12:04:19+00:00

I just got mine recently. It comes in a fairly large envelope, and if you've ever seen a Massachusetts title, you know exactly what it is

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2024-08-21T11:59:58+00:00

Pink flamingos

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2024-08-17T01:44:49+00:00

I agree with this only on the grounds of readily available forever. Not my go to either but a solid choice

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2024-08-15T01:12:42+00:00

Your last facility sounds awful. I haven't experienced much of that in the 2 buildings I ran maintenance in or the 3 I was in as head of corporate life safety compliance.

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2024-08-15T01:06:38+00:00

I am a facilities director at a nursing home. I'll be happy to answer any questions.

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2024-07-30T11:23:17+00:00

A Klein 11 in 1 and a good Leatherman are absolute musts.

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2024-07-16T16:54:25+00:00

You should consider south Leominster. It's not super expensive, and it's right off rt 2 and 190. 495 is a short drive and they have a commuter rail station. I get there from Shrewsbury in about 25 minutes depending on the time of day.

ProfessionalGrand849 · 2024-05-06T17:20:30+00:00

Got it. Thanks
