[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Another RN here and I agree with the previous posts. The last resort is restraints and meds. It sounds like they're doing what they can in their power to keep him there but if the sitter is not provided he will be considered too acute for the facility and you will be forced to look elsewhere for a home for him. [/quote] I am a social worker in a nursing home, and this is the approach that was used when I had a patient like your dad. The state I work in frowns on use of medication just for the sake of sedation, so we asked the family to hire an aide/ have a family member with the patient at all times. He finally got to be too much and we sent him to the psychiatric hospital so they could be responsible for upping his meds, not us.[/quote]
