I worked for a nursing home in Phoenix back in 2014 . I loved talking to the residents so they trusted me. One lady kept telling me how the nurses aide was so mean to her and stealing her jewelry and money. Well I went and talked to the head nurse and she kept telling me that she was not in her right mind and didn't know what she was talking about. She would not even look into the situation. The nurses aides were so upset with me they called a meeting and told everyone I was stealing this women's clothes. Those aides being friends with all the rest stood against me. I left the room and never returned to my job. That was only one incident the residents told me. Made me so sick that I could not protect this lady. I called the state and put in a complaint but nothing was ever done. I will never go into a nursing home.
