I have a resident at my job, she is very famously rude and disrespectful and just generally hateful. Today, I tried to get her up out of her recliner for lunch, and she started yelling at me that she didn’t want to get up for another 30 minutes. I would normally allow that, but I have to feed multiple other residents in the dining room and thus couldn’t go back for her. I tried explaining this to her, she kept yelling she doesnt care and shes not getting up. She was very rude with her way of speaking with me. So i told her that since she didnt want to get up, and i wouldnt have time to come back in the middle of service, that she would have to eat in her room. Told the nurse, she agreed. Well, now someone else got her up out of her chair, and she came in the dining room saying i was being rude and hateful and neglectful and that im not the boss of her. I don’t know really what to do with her. I hate how this job just forces us to tolerate that kind of behavior.
