So now I find out that my blind guy isn't being properly cared for

and I'm pissed.
He depends on a cab to take him to & from dialysis, about a 30, 35 minute ride. The cab shows up late in the mornings, leaves him stranded in the afternoons quite often. HIs B/P was dangerously low last week & they just dropped him off at home & left. He had to sit outside til he got able to even get inside his house.
Yeah they get busy, I get that, but his transport is already paid for and he's ill, ffs.
Then I find out that he has to depend on some Meals on Wheels type organization to get a decent meal in the evenings, but ONLY Friday evenings.
WTF???
So, I dug out my diabetic cookbook and I WILL be cooking meals for him, not a damn bologna sandwich or frozen pizza.
AND I'm working on ME being the one to transport him to & from Dialysis.
I don't understand people doing a half ass job with someone who is this ill.

@Tumbleweed Although, we may not know their past either. Maybe there's resentment and such. I remember feeling resentment for my mom. Then I did some reflecting. But ya, so uncool..

@SW-User True. But at least answer the man. If he don't wanna talk to him, he needs to grow a set of balls & tell him so.

@jackrabbit10 Exactly. So now I ask him questions and I told him today we're gonna figure this transport thing out AND get him some decent meals.

WTF! They only feed seniors on Fridays there? 🙄 Who is suppose to be looking after him through the week?
Tumbleweed · F
@Degbeme He lives in his own apartment but being blind, of course he can't cook or drive, etc, so this "agency" hires people to assist him. The Aide he has in the evenings apparantly has more important things to do than cook for him & wants to rush him when she takes him on errands & it pisses me off. He got hooked up with this other group who volunteers their time to take meals to people who can't get it on their own. He shouldn't have to depend on that. I will be cooking for him from now on.

@Tumbleweed Replace that aide.

@Degbeme I'm working on it. 😈

@Tumbleweed 😲that is shocking and disgusting way with a person with multiple problems to be treated
smiler2012 · 61-69
@Tumbleweed it may mean taking on a lot of responsibility but this is a very admirable thing you are doing taking this on due to the failure of the sysdtem and lack of care and compassion
Tumbleweed · F
@smiler2012 It'll definitely put more pressure on me but this man deserves and needs more than what he's getting.
smiler2012 · 61-69
@Tumbleweed 🤔i really admire your kindness as this goes above beyond and above that to take on the failings of the systems that are suppose to help these people

People are inconsiderate
Only care for themselves
Don't have pride in the work their getting paid for
