It's beginning to look the same at the new facility where I am working.
Three employees tested positive, only one resident tested positive at least.
CNAs still don't want to work: half the place is employed with facility aides while the other half has to be brought in by agency. On overnights, I'm usually the only facility employee while the others are agency, and the good thing about this facility is that it is willing to bring in agency to ensure the residents are properly cared for. However, agency has been getting somewhat sparse at my facility because it doesn't pay as much as other facilities and the aides aren't wanting to put up with the resident behavior. CNAs aren't as willing to be mistreated as is often required by facilities, and I don't blame them. I don't put up with it either, which is why I might not be here much longer.
Even I've been reticent to continue working here, but I'll give the place a few more months of my time before I make a formal decision.
