[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a betrayal to pretend you can care for her as well as a care facility. [/quote] If you spend significant time in these places you will see that they don't provide nearly the level of care that you think. Memory care units seem to get all the caretakers and those people are watched 24/7 in secure floor(s) but at the expense of the rest of the residents. The rest of the floors are assigned significantly less staff. I have also sen staff avoid more difficult residents b/c they don't want to deal with them. So just go into it with your eyes open. It's a difficult situation for everyone involved.[/quote] I’ve unfortunately spent significant time responding to homes where home care givers don’t understand how their care or lack there of causes UTIs, bed soars, falls, etc.[/quote]
