[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 261029, member: 6546"] Good Luck, DaisyLover-- Approach this with caution....on ALL sides. There is a lot of abuse that goes on in these sorts of facilities. At the same time, there are a lot of wonderful, caring people working at these facilities that get un-necessarily accused of wrong-doing because the residents misunderstand what is happening around them. I have volunteered at Assisted Living Facilities....and I have seen residents get angry and feel threatened over minor things. One day it was extremely hot...well over ninety degrees with high humidity. A resident wanted to go outside and sit in the sun--but she refused to take off her winter coat and sweater. Obviously, the woman could have easily succumbed to heat-stroke....but my efforts to get her to remove all the extra layers of clothing resulted in screaming and complaints that I was "attacking" her and being "mean". Go with caution.... --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
