[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you tell them he might try to escape when you were discussing whether they could handle him? I think it’s pretty crappy to expect them to suck it up if they genuinely had no idea what they were really agreeing to. They might simply not have the staffing or the environment to handle that.

But overall, I wouldn’t want my family somewhere that people are saying they can’t handle them. Same for kids.[/quote]

What nursing facility has no idea that one of their new patients might try to escape?! It's textbook elder care. It's literally part of the service they provide.[/quote]

It happens all the time.  Limited staff, residents just walk out even on locked wards.[/quote]

Many of the residents are pretty smart and memorize the codes punched in by workers to exit locked facilites.[/quote]

Most of the residents have impaired memory and cannot remember the codes  Some don't use codes and use key fobs.  Most walk out when its left open by staff or a family member.[/quote]

I visit a memory unit frequently.  Believe me, the lawyers, doctors, and professors who are memory unit residents watch the key code pad and can duplicate the code to unlock the doors.  Most people in memory units can walk well and talk well.  Memory residents that are bedbound are in the general population.[/quote]
