[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 261080, member: 1233"] I am glad you got it figured out and mother in law hadn't been hurt. It is a tough job, working in a nursing home. But there really is no point in not letting someone put on a robe or have a blanket when they are sitting in a wheelchair waiting for help. Esp if you woke them up out of a nice warm bed. It might be hard to remember, as you are rushing around sweating, that others could be very very cold. I know that my grandmothers would have been MORTIFIED to be left sitting in a wheelchair in just a nightgown while waiting to be helped to the restroom or to bathe. neither of them would have had much tolerance for that. But so often people forget that the older generation is not as "casual" about these things. I hope the ALF situation is better. Or at least they have personalities that can understand that the patients might be elderly but they are not "losing it" mentally! I also hope the ALF situation is much easier on YOU. You have been a real trooper about this. [/QUOTE]
