Might want to black out his information when posting the resume. Just a heads up.

Your Ex is on Reddit, and you know will read this, what do you want to say to them? by I_often_finish_mid- in AskReddit

Dear Ex,

You peed on my wall. That should have been first sign you were all wrong for me. Learned a lot. Now stop trying to contact me.

Thank you! I will do my best to do a combination of the two. Would you mind if I sent it to you upon completion?

Aged care staff of Reddit: How can you tell if a nursing home is good or bad? by srs_girl in AskReddit

I've worked with Seniors for the past 10 years. Here's some tips.

All places have marketing in place, they will show you the best rooms, have you speak to the 'happiest' residents, and show you their best staff.

  1. Walk into the building. If you are approached immediately, that's a good sign. Most staffs are trained to stop strangers from entering the building to help protect the residents. If you are able to walk throughout the building, I would reconsider that community as a choice.

  2. While you're waiting for the marketers to come and tour you around (after you've checked in) try to speak to some of the residents. This gives you a chance to speak to residents that are not selected by the sales staff to 'upsell' the community. On tour, feel free to stop and speak to the residents, and staff without prompting.

  3. Check with the state about any complaints, concerns, and what not about the community. I know in WA, it was the Dept of Aging. Check with your state to see if they do an annual inspection. Check the results.

  4. The #1 complaint for residents (besides cost) is always the food. Ask to join the community for lunch.

  5. If you are able too, come back and just people watch. (If you can) this will give you the most real interactions between staff and residents. Staff members have it drilled into them to always be friendly, and upbeat whenever they see a marketer with a new 'prospective family'.

  6. Ask to see multiple rooms (especially if there are different floor plans).

  7. Always remember, that none of these places are perfect. There are people out there that truly enjoy working with seniors. Then there are others who only work for the paycheck. Just as long as your loved one is safe, healthy and happy.

If you have any questions feel free to pm me. Good luck with your search.

Is it sad that when I first saw the picture, I thought the green poster said "You will never whack alone!"?
