My wifes been the DON of a local nursing home for almost 20 years. Some of the story's i hear are amazing. 80 year old Alzheimer's patient stabbing each other, fighting, stealing. Sometimes i think we forget just how dangerous some of these situations can get. There are nurses and aids that get injured weekly by elderly patients.
In some cases Mom and Pop just ain't the same people they used to be.
Sometimes i wish we'd go back to the way it used to be. When i was a kid my grandmother came to live with us, as did most peoples parents when life became to difficult for them. It was easier back then, none of the women worked. Now with todays economy thats an impossibility.
