Care providers show
names
DEAR ABBY: "She
Has a Name in Georgia"
(Dec. 2) complained that
the care staff at the assist¬
ed living community
where her mother lives
calls her “Granny,"
"Grandma” and
"Mamma.” She found it
disrespectful, and 1 agree
with her.
I am an R.N. with two
advanced nursing
degrees. Calling a resi¬
dent “Granny,” “Dear” or
“Honey” is not loving or
caring. It is degrading,
humiliating and hurtful! It
does not matter what the
ethnicity of the attendant
is; there are standards of
conduct and patient’s
rights. 1 suggest “She Has
a Name" ask the director
of the facility for copies
of the standards of care
and patient’s rights docu¬
ments.
The family may want to
install a “nanny cam” in
the room if it will provide
peace of mind. There are
many fine communities
where care of the resi¬
dents is professionally
and caringly provided. I
hope they are able to find
one for their mother.
— RETIRED R.N.
AND RESIDENT
ADVOCATE
DEAR R.N.: Thank
you for sharing your
expertise on this subject. 1
didn’t realize patient’s
rights were specified by
the documents you men¬
tioned or that how a resi¬
dent is addressed is cov¬
ered in them. Other health
care professionals
responded similarly, and I
stan’d corrected. My
newspaper readers com
ment:

rotations, we were repeat¬
edly instructed to call cli¬
ents by their names, espe¬
cially in situations where
memory was impaired.
Not only does it help to
reorient the patient as to
who they are and help
them to maintain their
identity, but it provides a
clear separation as to who
is family and who is the
caregiver.
The director should not
have diminished the
importance of the fami¬
ly’s feelings on this mat¬
ter. 1 suggest they consid¬
er relocating their mother
to a facility that is more
conscientious about the
care they are being paid
to provide.
— CAREGIVER IN
FLORIDA
DEAR ABBY. The
assisted living staff
should not be calling her
mother by those names.
The legal term is “elder
speak," or as it is com¬
monly known — baby
talk. This infantilizes
elders. It is detrimental to
their care and contributes
to “ageism,” a process in
which elders are per¬
ceived as less valuable
than others.
The family was right to
speak up and, regardless
of cultural considerations,
the staff and director
should respect their wish
es and refer to their moth
er by her appropriate
name.
