I am working in a nursing home people if you put your fucking parents or whoever in a nursing home FUCKING GO VISIT THEM!!!!!!!!!! they have hearts they get very lonely would it kill you to tak 20 minutes out of your day to see them im sure they'd go see you ive seen them expecting visitors and no one comes. do you know how bad that makes them feel?
sorry i needed to vent..
How can i stand the darkness without a distant glow?
How should i cross the desert without a grain of hope?
How can i face the silence without a voice that's near?
And while i feel the raindrops I'm on the verge of tears.
You are completely right. People pretend to care, but are just relieved they are out of the way. But if my dad went in a nursing home, I would let him rot because he is a sorry excuse for a parent.
i agree with space but nursing homes arent just dumps for people i mean once and a while but its quite true some of them dont get visitors at all
Quoting milmiracle:I said it b4 and I will say it again, some people need more space than others.

When my grandmother was in hospice, there was a little old lady in the room next to her who would just cry because she was so lonely. We would stop in her room and talk to her every time we were there. I felt so bad for her, she just wanted someone to talk to.....
i agree with that sometimes id rather my parents live with me they were good people though

I know EXACTLY what you mean, its like they just dump their family members off there for others to not only take care of 24/7 but to care about too, which isnt a problem, but its just so sad to see these people get left out in the cold. My first job was at a nursing home and I would see it all the time, the sweetest people ever, and their family would never come to see them, so I would stay after work and visit for hours sometimes, its very lonely for them.
When my grandmother went into the nursing home I went and saw her if not every day, every other day. She was such a wonderful lady, and she LOVED her nursing home. She would make her rounds every morning and afternoon to go visit her friends. When I would go up there I would see many of the ppl living there not have anyone there, so there were a few ppl that I got to know up there and tried to go and visit whenever I would go see Grandma....
I will regret, for the rest of my life, my grandmothers last month alive. As I said, I went almost every single day to see her, and her last month I didn't go see her at all. I got busy with alot of stupid crap. She passed away completely unexpectedly.. Out of no where. The day she passed I was on my way to see her when I got the call from my dad to turn around and go home, he needed to talk to me. When I got home they told me she had passed away. I will live with the guilt for the rest of my life over that one month.. So yes, I agree with you.. Please, don't take them for granted, at least go and visit, maybe once a week even. The joy on my grandma's face when she saw me coming was priceless and to hear her talk to all her friends and nurses about me was just as priceless....
today tehre was a sweet old man that was so excited his DD was comming to visit she told him..and he even saved her a spot for lunch and she never showed the poor man was devestated
Quoting LiSsY0924:Aweeeeee that's sooooo sad! Go visit your fucking parents. That's sad as hell. I mean, some people have reason not to but don't tell them your coming and never show. That's rude as hell.

Some people can not see there loved ones in nursing homes because of distance or because of other situations that come up and present themselves. There are other means of communication then going to see them. Write, call etc. It's horrible to tell someone in a nursing home that you are coming and then to not show up. Even if you can not stay for more then five minutes at least show up. It's horrible to tell anyone that you are coming and not show up but it's even worse when they are lonely and count on you to come and visit. At least call up on the phone and make another arrangement for a different time if there ends up being an emergency or a reason why you can not go.
What is your greatest accomplishment? UPDATE
