[quote=Anonymous]When it comes to the situations, there aren't many options. The facility is what it is and is often the best or only option. But some POs really need to take a step back and develop some empathy. These folks are people who were once independent, who got to choose what they wanted to eat, and what they wanted to do with their day, and where they would go and where would they sleep. Now they are sick or frail and other people are controlling almost their entire lives. This is a huge shift and an unpleasant one. This can result in anxiety, depression, you name it. Our elderly are not just big gray, wrinkly children. They are adults who are suddenly being treated like children. Don't block the calls. Get your mother a therapist, someone to talk to to help ease her through this.Try to make living there special for her, instead of a prison. And give it time.[/quote]
