[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They dope them up and leave em in wheelchairs all day. Very sad.[/quote] Do you have any idea what is going on in many homes where the family is caring for the elderly? There are countless stories of one spouse abusing the other out of burn out and exhaustion, elderly on the floor all day with a hip fracture after a fall, the elderly person spending all day not doped up and miserable staring at a TV screen. My experience is they don't dope up the elderly. They work with the family to find optimal medication dosage for decent quality of life. The only ones who need to be doped up are the highly aggressive and abusive because everyone around them has the right to safety.[/quote]
