[quote=Anonymous]Assisted living facilities are not for elders who cannot toilet themselves, unless they are paying out of pocket for additional aides to visit them and help them with ADLs such as toileting and washing.

The comments here crapping on CNAs etc. are gross. Yes, many CNAs are immigrants with accented English but very very few are incapable of basic English conversation and those that are typically are matched with elders who speak their language because many elders will begin reverting to primary language as dementia progresses.

There is not a single CNA in this country who doesn’t know how to properly clean a human being after toileting or how to clean and/or prevent bed sores (not SOARS, you elitist a holes) given the proper tools to do so.

Really this comment thread makes me very angry. So unbelievably xenophobia and elitist and smug. I bet most of the women commenting here couldn’t last a day as a caregiver in the home or a facility, much less put up with the kind of abuse your elder demented parents routinely heap on caregivers. Shame on those of you making such comments. [/quote]
