There's a Higher Path for our seniors
Senior care today is reactive, expensive, and siloed. It’s a sick-care system, not a health-care system (designed to keep seniors healthy). Most of us have accepted this status quo because it feels too big and complex to change. Not us. We’re taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care.

I appreciate the extra efforts put forth toward caring for my brother. It's not always easy. He's not your typical guy… But there are many of you that can see him as he is and meet him on his level… Learning to connect with each resident is an art… And I appreciate so much those of you who have figured him out

Only one concern. It's hard to get walkers and wheelchairs in through the front door because there is a strip of metal there that you have to go over and it's difficult to get walkers and wheelchairs in. If they could level that it would be easier and safer to get residents into the Saginaw Bickford. Thank you.

I understand how difficult it is to get "good" help. People are not raised with the work ethic as my generation was. There has been a big problem with how the aides are transferring mom to toilet: some do not realize or know that mom doesn't have the strength to "stand" holding the bar with ONE half good arm! I witnessed some have her stand, hold the bar and they're BEHIND her wheelchair and completely move away. They should be by her side, guide her up, slide chair away and proceed to move pants down. She's can't just back up either! She pivots slow. Same with getting her bed: why aren't they trained to LIFT UNDER HER ARMS?? Not left with just her bad side and attempt to get her bed!! She gets very nervous and more shaky! She can pivot slow if she's held up not slipping to her left side. I've witnessed where she ends up 1/2 on the edge of the bed. Then it's attempted to left her legs and she ends up across her bed. EVERYONE needs to be trained how to hold and transfer safely for both of them. Also getting her out of bed: mom says they "grab" her right forearm to pull her up, that's her stroke side. They should attempt to reach under her arm to pull up. She's had many bruises and some tears. We understand it's not an easy task, mom says I'm too heavy for them. There is a safe and proper way for everyone. And hygiene care is not completed at bedtime: teeth and face washed, powder under breast... the gals are in a "hurry" as mom says and won't bother them. Some are great and some not. I can't name them but ALL should be doing this care in the morning and evening. Mom won't

While I'm really happy with my mom's care, it upsets her to not know who is assigned to her each day. I don't why it bothers her so much to not know because she is always taken care of but if she could be told each morning, that would be one less thing for her to stew about!

All the employees that we have communicated with throughout the past month have been wonderful. Please keep these pleasant attitudes. We especially like when you encourage her. We can see that she is very content. Now for the challenge for (name removed) and I, to remember all the caregivers names. Thank you for all you do. We'll see you in a month.

We are ALL getting really frustrated at the continuous meal problems. If corporate is deciding these meal plans then they need to make sure there are enough ingredients for them!! There needs to be enough bread/butter/creamer/coffee/jelly ETC!! THEY need to come and eat at the facility with residents, unannounced to see and taste what our families are attempting to eat. The kitchen staff... Jenell...bless her...she's not miracle worker. There NEEDS to be more organized prep, cook and serve time management. If there's supposed to be prep cook back there than he has to much on his hands! Why is he not helping dish up food, move the plates to counter, help check on waters/coffee?? Residents sit there for over 20 minutes or more before water is poured or coffee started and longer for food to start to be served! I've seen it too many times, different days. Weekends are JOKE!! Come on... start that BEFORE you RUSH them all down. They all look forward to their " TWO SMALL"cups of coffee!!! More often than not food is cold when brought out, either over or under cooked, not cut when some need it cut. Seen that too many times. (name removed) can only do so much!! **Nursing is not following through with Drs orders on more than one occasion. I found a sore on mom's leg, reported to the (name removed) and the hospice nurse. A cream was ordered to put on twice a day. It was NOT done consistently as it was not healing. The hospice nurse reported to me. One evening I had get the med passer to come put it on. Daily "things" are not being recorded in charts and change over reports a
