[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just talking to a physical therapist about this yesterday. She switched to a lower paying hospital job because of the patient population in assisted living. Physical therapy only works if the patient is motivated. For many people in assisted living, it's the family members who are motivated to see improvement and not actually the patient.[/quote] I can see that although in this case our loved one is motivated but the therapist seem apathetic. Older people do respond to encouragement but some of the PTs and OTs we have encountered appear to be disengaged and then the therapy isn't effective.[/quote]
