[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chemical restraints are against the law. I'm asking what that means. Does it mean over-medicating or sedating residents?[/quote] That's what happened with my dad.

Facility MD provided the Rx. [/quote] How is that right?[/quote] As the PP who followed this question said, when the elderly get aggressive they can hurt themselves and the staff. We brought my dad home. Being in familiar surroundings helped. But not many have the ability or the money to deal with this at home. The reality is when things go really wrong with the elderly, it is extremely hard to manage. [/quote]
