Jackie, You were what this place needed. The changes you have made in just a few weeks has been astounding. To you, Gladys and a majority of the staff, Thank you for being that warm hug. For being there to care and be there for my dad and family. I’m horrible with names and everything is so overwhelming right now. But you all know who you are. I am thankful for all of you. Dear Reyna Martinez, assisted living, Kennewick WA. , I pray you get this. Remember me? I’m sure you do. I’m the daughter and POA of my father. You know the one you hurt and when asked to stop you argued. I pray this never happens to you. I’m the daughter that asked you several times to give my dad a pain pill. Remember how you denied him? Refused to give it to him? I’m sure you do. I pray this never happens to you. I’m sure you remember the pain my father was in as you held him on his side. The agitation as he fought through the pain you purposely inflicted without a care as I cried and begged you to stop while soothing my father. I pray this never happens to you. That was the last night my father was able to speak to any of his children and family as we gathered with him. You denied him his pain meds, treated myself and family horribly. I had to fight with you when I finally lost my cool and yet you still held that smug uncaring face as you continued to refuse his pain pill. You denied a direct order from the hospice nurse TWICE. I still pray this never happens to you. I pray that you remember how my father smiled all the time and was kind to everyone. But despite that you denied him any and all comfort. My final and last prayer for you is that you never work another day in caring for any vulnerable adult or child. I pray you never have another opportunity to deny a dieing man his dignity and relief from pain. That you never have another chance to hurt another family member as they grieve for their loved one. There is a special place for people like you and it is not caring for others. I pray you find it!
Reyna Martinez is one of the caregivers and she sucks, she’s rude and doesn’t care about the residents or their families. She argues even when she’s wrong, she refuse’s IMPORTANT medications to give to the patients even if the notes say otherwise she purposely has hurt my grandpa and refused to give him his pain medication after his POA (power of attorney) said to give it to him, he cannot communicate. Apparently she’s also a supervisor of a few people and she doesn’t care if the bell is ringing because a resident pulled the emergency string, we once waited a whole hour until someone came to help, my papa needed help and after another time I pulled the string no one came and when I went downstairs they were all around the nursing station just chatting while the bell is ringing, they don’t care and having REYNA as the supervisor who also doesn’t care doesn’t help. My grandpa was on the floor for 3 hours before I got there one time, my grandma was on the floor for 30 minutes before I got there as well one time. She is not professional in the ways she handles situations and takes NO accountability. She’s a danger to the residents in my opinion and needs to be removed, gone, fired, whatever.
Families should trust the nursing home their loved ones are in!!
