I work as an AIN in a private aged care, my shift is in the afternoon and we are currently on lockdown due to some staff getting covid. Even before year 2021 we have staffing problems where the ratio of staff is 1 AIN is to 10 resident. At the moment we are still understaffed because there are staff who are isolated. But the management seem to not care. Sometimes they will be asking staff to work double. There are times when a staff is calling in sick but will be rejected and forced to go to work. The manager would always say that there is no one to cover their shift. Sometimes they will say just take panadol and come to work. Even water is not provided for staff. Like we are not allowed to get bottled water because they say that it is only meant for resident only. We are not even allowed to turn the aircons on because resident are complaining that it is cold. However, imagine staff wearing full PPE for 8 to 12 hours and the temperature goes up to 30 to 34.
