[quote=Anonymous]We had no issue for aunt, uncle, one grandma and dad in assisted living/nursing home/memory care. To be honest, I feel dad received better care at Memory care than when he was with mom who was burned out, angry and resentful and HATED caregivers in the home even though she could come and go as she pleased.

One grandma had an issue, but she had angry, aggressive, abusive dementia. My aunt refused the level of care she needed and she lashed out physically and the person acted in self-defense. Once she was properly medicated she could be decent so staff could maintain their own composure.

If you are worried about not getting a diaper change right away or someone not coming with a fall, that happens in loving family homes too and I would not call it abuse. Did your toddler ever stay in a diaper a little too long?

If you mean physical assault or something like that we only had that one issue with grandma, and I can't imagine a family member would have let her attack either.[/quote]
