[quote=Anonymous]Alzheimer’s might not be applicable here, as it’s harder to manage, but my mother moved into assisted living and one thing I noticed is that their health policies are hugely based on liability. We would like my mother’s anxiety drug evaluated (she’s still on the loading dose) and the NP keeps saying that ‘we don’t’ want to over drug her’. Meanwhile, she is having massive panic attacks every time she needs to move out of a chair. She also needs to have her meds upped for the horrible neuropathy pain she suffers at night, and they won’t do that either. She is nowhere near on the upper end of what she could take of Gabapentin in the evening. Lastly, she has a tendency to fall out of bed, but they took the bedrails off the hospital bed so she would not be ‘confined’. But we can use a slide under the mattress bedrail, which makes no darn sense![/quote]
