We have elderly people staying at the hotel while their apartment building is being renovated

one of them spilled orange juice all over the place, STILL mopping the sticky up. We have one sitting at the table at the crack of dawn waiting to be fed. We have one who we have to constantly keep fixing food for because he eats his share plus everybody else's. We have one who parks her walker in the middle of the aisle so the other guests have to squeeze by. We have one who smells like manure because it's all over the back of the pants he wears every damn day.
And I'm sorry, this is a hotel, not a nursing home & someone needs to come oversee these people ffs.

I've noticed at my job too that a lot of elderly are still running around without help or care. I try to be patient because I know they're families probably ditched them, but also, no, we're not nurses and caretakers. I can't do my job effectively and wait hand and foot on someone who needs specific care.

Tbh I think it's sad. I think these people's families are too busy slaving away to care for their elderly and care for them cost a fortune.

Yay America...

@MarbleMarvel Right?? And I do try to be patient but this is just uncalled for. If they can afford to put these people up at a Marriott for months, they can afford to send someone in to assist them.
@Tumbleweed why the heck are they putting them in a hotel for months???

@MarbleMarvel They live in a building specifically for the elderly and their apartments are being updated, renovated, whatever so they send them to the busiest hotel in town, like we don't have enough to do already.
@Tumbleweed oh I gotcha! Yeah I'm sure they could of sent them somewhere else. Do they have aides at least? Any help?

@Captain It really is but I don't have time to deal with it. I help them best I can but when we're busy, I can't do it.
