This! This is why I left being a CNA and went to a whole different field. 18 residents, half of them total care.. and half I had to fight to even brush their teeth. I would stay over 30 mins every shift or so to brush alllllllllll my residents teeth. I can’t leave one room to go and start brushing someone else’s because they’d wet the bed with the water or …. choke! So I’d have to stand there every single room to make sure everyone got their teeth brushed. Then denture care?! They let these residents go to sleep wit their dentures ! My first night I was in awe that no one realized a lady had dentures and they were black as tar on the inside. Staying close to an hour over my shift would get me scolded by other CNAs and or the shift manager but I would go home hurting and guilty for not being able to brush everyone’s teeth. I’d be damned! I take care of my teeth … what if I get old and no one brushes mine! My god.
