I work at an assisted living in cincinnati ohio?
I work at an assisted living in ohio. And sometimes they give us ppl who are not assisted living material. One lady we got was dying and couldn't do anything. Another lady we got can not do anything either and hits us and talks to walls and imaginary ppl. Why have assisted living criteria if they don't follow them and have just anyone come to the assisted living. Are they allowed doing this. I don't know if state would approve. We are getting more of these ppl more often. We can't use hospital beds or hoyer lifts so it makes lifting very difficult

Apparently, the facility you work at has a license for assisted living residents and also skilled nursing level patients. You sound annoyed with the woman that is confused and also with the one who is dying. If that's the case, maybe you're in the wrong line of work. Neither of them can help their situation and they need your compassion and care, not your aggravation. It sounds odd to me that you cannot use a hoyer on these patients, but every state has its own laws and all I know is California law. Speak to your immediate supervisor about this issue and see what she has to say.
