[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Methinks the MAGAts that have recently flocked to DCUM don't trust democrats and don't trust medical professionals at long term care facilities. The tone here has changed dramatically in the past few years. So odd![/quote] I would guess I am one of the furthest to the left on DCUM. Most care in memory care and SNFs isn't coming from Doctors and nurses. Even in expensive facilities, it's CNA's and uncertified aides that provide most of the care. Some of them are absolutely wonderful, others ok, and some are awful. The quality of the medical oversight is variable as well. Most of these places are for profit, and you really do have to carefully watch what is happening. Maybe you don't have much experience with this level of care. Or maybe you're a MAGA that wants to stir things up. I do know that I would never trust a facility with a no contact for a week rule. Not for my dog, not for my kid, and certainly not for a senior with dementia. A lot of people think that once they have their elder "in a facility" the job is done. But really the job is just different. You aren't on call to solve every issue 24/7, but your involvement and attention is still very much needed. [/quote]
