[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a relative who was in a nursing home temporarily and I saw a lot of indigent patients there. I hate to tell you this, but it seemed like the Medicare [b]patients with dementia were parked in wheelchairs in the hallway with belts tying them in and/or parked in a day room all day. [/b]I’m not sure how these patients would have been handled were they more ambulatory. My relative with dementia and a very healthy body is lucky to be in another country where more care is covered, but it’s still not a great situation and other relatives are there daily to help with care. [/quote] I thought physical restraints were illegal? I've definitely heard of medication being given to prevent ambulatory dementia patients from wandering.[/quote]
