Thursday Dec 28, 2006 Spoke to Margaret who said the hearing aid was broke. I asked how she knew. She said they put a new battery in it and it didn’t buzz. She said it was locked up in the Nurses cabinet. I asked what the plan was and she said there was no plan.
Spoke with Karen who said when she came on in the afternoon she got the hearing aid out of the locked nurses cabinet (med cabinet?) and put it on him. It was working.
Karen said same thing happened yesterday.
I spoke to Avery several times. First she said that Dad made such a fuss they couldn’t get the hearing aid on him. I said “I think you are mistaken; he keeps asking for his hearing aid”. I insisted that he wear his hearing aid just as he wears his glasses. She said she would bring it up in morning report.
Friday Dec 29, spoke to Alyissa who said the hearing aid was missing so she called Mom to see if she put it in the bottom of her purse. She went hunting again, and found it on Dad. (she looked in the wrong ear)
On Friday Alyssia called me back to update me about the haircut and said she was working on getting Dad on a schedule with the hairdressers to get a #1 clipper cut every two weeks. She said she forgot to bring up the hearing aid situation in morning report but would do so Tuesday or Wednesday.
I told her I would call every day until it became a routine that Dad was wearing his hearing aid just as he wears his glasses.
Saturday late afternoon, I spoke to Mark, who said Dad was wearing his hearing aid.
Sunday morning I spoke to Alyissa who said Dad was wearing his hearing aid.
