Hi folks,
I have a close friend who lives in a facility for people with dementia. I usually have a few meals with her each week. The dining room staff is suppose to give me a tab when I eat with her but that is seldom done. If I don't forget, I notate on a calendar that I had a meal at the facility and at the end of the month I write a check to the facility to pay for my meals there for that month.
This morning I had breakfast by myself because she would not get out of bed and I was getting hungry. Oddly, I overheard one of the staff members say what sounded like a complaint to another worker that I was eating there and that my friend was not with me. The way she phrased what she said made it sound like I was freeloading. I became teed and was about to stand up and yell at her but decided to keep my mouth shut. What do you think of all this? And I wonder why this employee would even say such a thing?
thanks,
