[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They know what typically works for most and what helps the transition go more smoothly. They also know many will be unable to heed the advise, and make the transition much more difficult for all involved. [/quote] They're trying to make their own jobs easier by lying to a patient. It's deeply unethical. There's no way I would lie to my loved one, even if she had dementia. I would also visit as I felt necessary. I would start my regular, planned visitation schedule and get into a routine. [/quote] Have you ever had a close relative with dementia? Lying is not "unethical" they often cannot remember that you visited the day before or who you are some days. So you tell them what is needed to keep them calm and happiest. It's actually the sane thing to do in a difficult situation [/quote]
